Experimentation 2 - Physical

I conducted further experiments, particularly focusing on physical aspects, as my initial exploration of ideas remained open-ended. In this phase, my emphasis shifted towards refining the concept, exploring the progression of nature, and shooting more textures.

In my first experiment, I wanted to convey the effect of concrete on nature by burning the paper that narrates nature and showing a picture of the Mercury Towers beneath it. This visual representation communicates the idea of nature being "burned" or destroyed, giving way to the dominance of concrete. The burned hole adds an intriguing and visually compelling element to the narrative, enhancing the overall impact of the physical piece.

In this experiment, I created a visually compelling effect by blending a double exposure image featuring a facade and dirt terrain. Then, I utilized a separate photo of just the facade, without the double exposure effect, to slice and stick the images. This technique resulted in an intriguing illusion and contrast between the two distinct visual elements.

In this experiment, I created a composition by combining three images: a tree branch, a double exposure of trees and apartments, and a standalone image of apartments. To enhance interactivity and provide a more immersive experience, I cut the paper, allowing viewers to physically engage with the photos as they navigate through the interconnected images. This approach aims to evoke a more tactile and engaging encounter with the visual narrative.

In conclusion, I am highly satisfied with the results of these experiments. They have provided me with valuable insights into diverse ways of presenting my work, experimenting with various photos, and placing a strong emphasis on the narrative impact of the concept. This process has expanded my understanding of different approaches to showcasing my artistic endeavors.
