intimacy, closeness, uncomfortable, too close-too far

Intended product:

Anatomy, visual deconstruction, self-image, history and use of group portraits, mass depiction in art history, anxiety, psychology

Who will be your external partner(s):

Negative social experiences in supposedly pleasurable situations

TENSITY, CONTRAST

full total pictures of crowd vs close ups on interpersonal scenes etudes

001

humorous approach

exaggerated characters, colorful scenes,

group portraits of people squashed together
emotionless, intimidating, indifferent, unpleasant
(eg in pools,sauna, waitng room, elevator etc)

close ups of 2 or 3 people
uncomfortably close
tense
storytelling quality (sequential narrative max 2-3 scene)

002

Possible medium

book + exhibition (prints)
book structure:
I would start with illustrative pictures with narrative and gradually turn into more abstract and intuitive.

conclusion,
the risograph gives a more analogue felling to my work,
but it has limitations in size (max a3)-------- (further research may be ''painting'' with risograph with more color channels

My work would be more expressive with added spatial quality (space----agoraphobia relation)

installation
life size prints (digital?)
painting cardboard (3d)

immersive Projection (animated)
VR diorama
