Photo Observation

Description:

This project draws on a range of references from the metaphysical paintings of Giorgio de Chirico to architectural landscapes of Aldo Rossi. The ambiguous scale and striking silhouettes of the pieces give them an architectural quality. One of the central inspirations for this collection is the visual language of theatre director Robert Wilson and his approach to movement and stillness, moment and infinity. The project invites the viewer to pause and to reflect on their perception of time within the physical environment.

I chose this photo because I liked the contrast between the colors of the structures, the white balls, and the surfaces surrounding. There’s not real way to determine where you would be in space. I feel like I’m staring into an optical illusion almost. I also really like the shadows that were present. Because I see a lot of shadows from the structures on the right side of the picture it’s causing me to infer that theres a light source above and slightly to the left. The shadows are all very straight so I know there isn’t an angle on the light source. In my ACC, I showed the three structures and how theres a light source (white light) coming from the left (SR).
