London Faces

The Tate

In the turbine hall at the Tate this year, was an installation from the work of Miroslaw Balka, it was a massive box of darkness where you can't see anything it gives you a sense of unease as you don't know what to expect or see. The same sort of feel when you first step inside an abandoned building. In these images I took I tried to create that sense that you feel when your inside it.

LDN Shoes

Recently visited london to have a look at a couple of art galleries and exhibitions.

Anne Hardy

Anne Hardy is a photographer, and after looking through some of her work i discovered that she collects items she finds and instead of taking pictures of those items in the place she finds them, she recreates an abandoned space in a studio and then shoots it in there. I feel it relates to my work as i have been collecting items i have found from the places i have been visiting, instead of recreating an abandoned space, my photography class is going to do something slightly different but create an exhibition from the objects and images we have taken.

Empty

We found another hotel which had recently been closed, it wasn't fully trashed with everything smashed up as we found in the other places we visited. It was just an empty building which had been cleared out of everything bar a few things. This provided a different photo insight as there werent as many objects lying around for me to photograph. However most of the images I feel were still very effective, looking at shape and subtle colours.

Beetle

Representing objects occupying places, I drive past this garden quite often and notice this old beetle that never moves, its been left, abandoned and neglected by its owner. I took my camera and although its slightly different to the abandoned theme it still links in and i feel that the image that i have selected as my final one is effective.

House

I came across this house which no longer had anybody living in anymore. The image from the front of the house I feel is effective as it feels like it is in the view of the people who used to live in the house.
