[Fieldwork Homework 1] The hours, bit by bit

1.Wide-angle

This is our world: books, water, tissue, and movies. (Laptop)

2.Zoom

I can spend all my day with Kubrick’s movie. (Dr. Strangelove)

3.Focus

The rubbish in my bin: paper, the pack of sterilized water, socks. Seems like I abandoned my study life, walking feet, and my life( Because if without disinfectant, it’s easy getting sick from the coronavirus ).

4.crop

I looking at the fluorescent lamp as if I am looking at the sky.

 

5.Bird’s eye

The tunnel downstairs is colored, whereas they are monochrome in my room’s light, in my perspective, in my camera.

 

6.worm’s eye

I zoom on the water as if looking at the whole world.

7.First person’s view

Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird. Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein.

He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.

 

8.Skewed angle

Our society is like these intertwining water pipes, but we never realize that we have our freedom to do whatever we want, to go wherever we want to go before this virus. We always looking for a holiday, until we were trapped in our room, we started to realize what’s the feeling would be like of not been trapped. Still, maybe we would not realize how much freedom we could enjoy right now to feed our brain with books, movies, art, and philosophy, until the virus past and life start to continuously squeeze our energy, time and enthusiasm toward life again.(104 words)

 

9.Perspective

We never realized how astonishingly charming the view beyond our window, how easy to grab the happiness and joyful tiny things happened every second in our life until we have been looked in the tiny, tedious room.

10.view frame

the window is the only way could connect me and the outside world right now. Unfortunately, it’s covered with a curtain. I don’t know how to dial away from the light curtain as if I don’t know how to blow away those dust on my heart. My heart is the window, it frames my life.

 

11.Contrast

I wanna go out, the wall is stopping me toward the door. An illusion is formed in this angle, that the door seems like independently standing in a blank space or it’s been covered by white wall.

 

 

12.seriality

The foods made by me during these days. Life is still going on, as well as my lust toward food. Life doesn’t change much if we could easily be filled with the basic element of life, eat and think, and be appreciated toward that joyful satisfaction.

    This is an excellently-designed series that is well-considered and considered in terms of your selected of subjects, colors, textures and sequences. Love your decisions on black and white versus color contents to correspond to the point you wish to make per photograph, as well as for the entire collection.
    There are a number of innovative thinking in the photographs, especially Worm’s Eye, Skewed Angle, Perspective and Seriality.
    Worm’s Eye – clever choice of the fritted glass as subject
    Skewed Angle – pertinent choice of the pipes; photograph contains an oddly grotesque beauty which is reinforced in your text description
    Perspective – beautiful first introduction of colors and organic lines to the series which has been black and white so far
    Seriality – a trio of cheerful compositions that communicate a sense of optimisim!
    First Person’s View – intrigued by your use of Nietszche quote to describe the image
    Collectively, the photographs demonstrate a thorough understanding of, the expectations of the assignment and a constructive engagement with the course contents. Great job!
