Exam – Analysing My Response To – Chino Otsuka:

IMG_2295 copy

This is a photo montage that I created as a response to the works of Chino Otsuka. The original photograph is of me handing my bottle of milk over to my mum or my dad, and the second photograph that has been inserted in, is of me when I was playing with some toys at home. I decided to create this photo montage to respond to the works of Chino Otsuka. However, the way she did her work was completely different to how I decided to do it.  For he to produce her work of illusion, she actually visited the places where she had been photographed as a child and then digitally combined the photographs and therefore they look very realistic, This is something I could not have done due to the fact that I live in a different country to where those photographs were originally taken. Something else that was different to what I did, was that she added herself in photographs with a great age gap between them however I could not do so as seeing that I wasn’t in the same location therefore I couldn’t have taken photographs of myself then. Going back to this specific photo montage, I like the way that it turned out, as I feel like it looks like the most realistic one that I created as a response to the works of Chino Otsuka. I also really like it, as it looks like the sister that I never had or it could also be interpreted as being like two sides to my personally where on one side I am calm and obeying and the other I am crying and screaming. 12921850_1368656366485197_1000796014_o copyThis is another photo montage response that I created when I was looking at the works of Chino Otsuka. The original photograph is of me as a baby, my mum and my dad. The photograph that I inserted is of me and my mum during one mother’s day that was taken at my school. The reason as to why I decided to add these photographs together is because we  are able to see how, even in a small space of a few years, you can already see a big difference and how much people, which in this case is me and my mum, have grown and developed over that small period of time. Personally, the editing of this photo montage isn’t great, and you are definitely able to tell which photograph was inserted and how it looks like it just doesn’t belong there. However, I still really like it as I feel like it’s the future posing the with past, however it is the past posing with the past .
