So far, within the ‘Variation and Similarities’ project I have explored
Eadweard Muybridge and Typologies, Hiroshi Sugimoto and the transience of life, and Huang Qingjun and documented the utilitarian lives of millions of ordinary Chinese people. From these people I have drawn inspiration for my project to create Photographs of people and their belongings which when looked at in detail can tell a story. After looking at different artists and their styles I have decided to follow the route of Huang Qingjun in exploring people and their belongings, and the ‘Variations and Similarities’ between them.
I have explored this area by photographing People and their belongings at car boot sales. I have experimented different ways of presenting these images, including GIFs and typologies. The different presentation techniques are all intended to allow the viewer to compare the different images and see the ‘variations and similarities’. To further my project I intend to photograph more car boot stalls and edit them using similar styles
