Photo Series Assignment [Y1 Foundation: 4D]

In this project,  we need to decide on one theme/ rule/ restriction, and take a series of photos which can convey a message/ meaning.

 

Final Results:

Ageing, Working

Ageing, Working, Photo series, 2018, Emma Cheuk Yan Wa

 

“Ageing, but still working” is a social phenomenon in Singapore. Some elderlies are living in poverty and have to work to earn a living. Questions appeared in my mind: Are their bodies healthy enough to afford every day workload? Are we responsible to help them? Elderly workers are in our society cannot be unseen them.  (55words)

Feedback and Questions from Harry after presentation:

  1. Cannot really see the elderlies who are in black
  2. Why did you take photos of different person?
  3. Why not make the elderlies in black and white and audiences in colour?

 

Regarding Improvements and Answers:

  1. I re-edit the 2 photos where elderlies are in black:

2. To show elderly as a group

3. Too messy layout

Manipulated Found Object. Process [Y1 Foundation: 4D]

In this project, we are manipulating a found object in a way it conveys a meaning message.

Reference Artist: Marin Roller

 

First Idea: Addiction

Cigarette box + Fries, Ashtray + Tomato Sauce 

When I was small, I always pretended I was smoking with the french fries. Fries and cigarette are both addictive ‘unhealthy’ things.

Feedback: Both are ‘unhealthy’ objects so the contract between the two is not big. Try to construct idea with a object which people think is healthy but actually not really. For example, certificate and cigarette box. Certificate is desired by everyone in the society, especially employers. But is certificate so important that an already skilled and qualified person have to spend years to study in a university just to satisfy the requirement set by the society?

 

Idea Development :

Cigarette box + Long Beans (photoshopped)

Crafting Process to create the final artwork
