Joan Fontcuberta and James Casebere

Due to his aim of wanting to portray a truthfulness within his work and examine conceptual aspects of art his approach to art is unique.His propaganda and dictatorship of Spain allowed him to reflect his authority wihtin his are,his advertising had complete relationships between photography and truth but most importantly he believed that his humour is the most important concept throughout his work and called his art ‘postmorden’

How does Fontcuberta’s work compare to the work of James Casabere ?

Since the mid-1970s James Casebere (b. 1953, Lansing, Michigan) has been carefully constructing architectural models and photographing them, yielding images somewhere between realism and obvious fabrication.All of Casebere’s work is filled with highly detailed models of but in a juxtaposing nano-detailed space.he does this in order to create his’ constructed  photography’. He focused much of his work on minimalism and the emptiness of spaces to that of the expansion of prison cells to flooded rooms.He likes to promote hunting images that do not underestimate the use of light and shadow to form a sense of size. Casebere is interested in the memories and feelings that are brought to mind by the architectural spaces he represents. The resulting works are dramatic, surreal, and remarkably true to life, embracing qualities of photography, architecture, and sculpture.

This differs strongly to that of Joan Fontcuberta’s work and how he focuses on the interesting work in which we are surrounded to portrays aspects of surrealism and adventure within his images. the juxtaposition wihtin their photos are enormous yet both highly influential.

To me Fontcuberta’s work inspires such a depth of beauty and detail of action within his images,everything has a meaning and belonging while still being filled with many visuals. He also has many portrays of people within his work to show how a human ideal to the scenario.I chose this image due to the way in which nature is seen surrounding a basic human necessity, it proposes the state in which he himself lives and how he is tangles and almost retrained to the life of nature and a drawn very humanness aspect of not wanting to leave the bed. It is a minimalist idea but presenting in a more diverse way whereas;

James Casabere’s work prestos a beauty within. basic man made future as he uses the delicacy of light to from and enhance the stutter to become a life and shows a sense of nature though the confinements of human life.

Within my work I too want to show different contrasting elements of more simple and structurally dynamic images enhanced within light but I also ant more interesting and conceptually interesting images.I think both images are just as successful as each other and encompass what they both want to portray every efficiently.I chose to all experiment within His work due to the way in which he is able to show how he captures the landscapes an nature shots which will be the boom of my development shots. Although I think he most effect part of this research is how James Casebere uses light to show tones and stutter within his work which is too what I need to experiment within. He does also have themes of surrealism which will also help me within my project.
