For my exam, I am wanting to focus on nature and the way it changes. There are multiple areas that I can look into such as flowers and animals, however, becasue I live on an island the sea is a very significant part of the landscape and the tides are constantly changing. In both predictable and unpredictable ways. I feel like this would be an interesting topic to explore because of the variations as well as the similarites in each tidal movement.
How I am going to go about photographing the tidal movements:
I am going to take a series of images from various areas of the island. Each area will contain photos taken every 5/10 minutes, until a visible change occurs. With these series of images I am hoping to display them in two ways. Firstly I am going to create a moving image using photoshop, to show the tidal movements. I am also going to display the images in a grid, so that each photo is one frame of the moving image.
Artists I am going to look at and the images that have inspired me:
- Michael Marten
- Lorna Simpson
- Eadweard Muybridge
- Hiroshi Sugimoto
- Roni Horn
- Jem Southam
- Bernd and Hilla Becher
- John Baldessari
