Presentation

On Friday 10th we got into groups and spent the first three hours of the school day creating a powerpoint which we would then present to Tom Pope and the rest of the students as a form of feedback and our response to the topic theme Chance Change and Challenge. In the powerpoint we included our research, experiments, and final outcomes.

Performance photography is a form of photography that differs from and challenges standard photography. The aim of performance photography is to challenge the social norms of society, and people’s acceptance in the things we do. Performance photography is more the act of taking the photograph and focuses on how it is done instead of the final outcome. Performance photography is mainly inspired by the situationist movement which is a psychology theory that began in 1968, when a person-situation debate was triggered by the publication of a monograph by Walter Mischel. There is also the Dadaism movement which began during the WWI between 1914 and 1918. Dadaism is the conflict which declared the lives of over 8 million soldiers and around an equal number of civilians.

 For our final outcomes we used moving images to show how they can be incorporated into photography, and we tried to incorporate the project title Chance Change and Challenge by videoing activities that push boundaries by not doing what is seen as acceptable in society.
