First plan
Project description / subject:
semi-figurative group portraits, etudes / crowd, body image, agoraphobia, social anxiety
intimacy, closeness, uncomfortable, too close-too far
Intended product:
autonomous publication, booklet and prints, installation
Research subject, research question:
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):
Publisher, print studio, gallery
Economic aspects:
Print sales
Station(s) you choose to work in:
printmaking, digital lab, ceramics
Negative social experiences in supposedly pleasurable situations
humorous approach
book + exhibition (prints)
book structure:
I would start with illustrative pictures with narrative and gradually turn into more abstract and intuitive.
eg: holiday, beach, restaurant, concert, among friends etc.
exaggerated characters, colorful scenes,
TENSITY, CONTRAST
full total pictures of crowd vs close ups on interpersonal scenes etudes
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)
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)
