the thought process behind the series of photographs titled ‘may the circle remain unbroken’, a meditation on love, yearning, loneliness and ennui.

 

For this project, I knew what I wanted to do as I felt that it played more towards my artistic strengths – photography and the narrative element. As such, I utilised more of a moodboard to focus on certain themes.

Instead of scribbling down thoughts or writing down phrases that would trigger an inspiration, I studied my own body of work, notebooks and referenced them to how certain photographers had had an influence on me.

With regards to the overall aesthetics and narrative decisions behind the photographs, I focused onto the topics of loneliness and love.

The feelings I had when I was in Tokyo, a sense of isolation in an urban environment. When the silence feels deafening and the void of loneliness feels ever-present in a room full of people.

Pre-Seminar Task – Examples Of Sound Art & Interesting Finds

Artist: Studio Lernert & Sander x Cos

This sound installation and performance, titled “The Sound of COS” is a collaboration between Swedish fashion brand COS and conceptual artists-filmmakers Lernet & Sander.

The artists imitate the sounds clothes make. In their studio they crush salt, open umbrellas, slip on oven mitts and stomp about to create the soundtrack for a fashion video.

I find this to be an interesting and unique take for a fashion campaign. Embracing the conceptual elements of sound itself, rather than the clothes is a very artistic and unique approach for a brand campaign. I think this is brave and very intriguing – creating a reverse effect that heightens the marketability of the COS brand.

Christine Sun Kim is a sound artist who is profoundly deaf. Fingertap Quartet is an aural performance thriugh projecting text on the wall behind her, for the audience to read and experience.

As part of her practice she is persistently questioning what she calls “the ownership of sound” and re-orienting the parameters, social values and sets of rules based around that which is omnipresent and yet invisible to us all.

As a huge fan of her work, I am interested in her performance art related to the concept of sound through a deaf person. It feels as if we are encouraged to view sound in a different manner. The depiction of sound itself is more often than not; linear. We only hear but how can we see it?Hence, I enjoy her scope of work and style as it very provocative and conceptual.
