inspiration 5:Ketty La Rocca

I was inspired by this image due to the composition of the piece centring the women and how she connotes a struggle of her voice being taken away with all the hands heading towards her mouth, It presents a strong relation of humans to violence,and the most important weapons we have is our voice. Although how we are expected to act a certain way due to the environment we grow up in or dependent on our gender.Furthermore the lack of eye contact presents her human emotion and how she is not addressing us directly as she is seen as powerless wihtin the image once again indicating human behaviour of fear due to others influences.

I would further develop this image in order to present more surrealist values possibly adding more hands and creating a more conceptual feel to being trapped and isolated.It again highlights the sense of human struggle and relationships people have to form due to the codes and conventions as where they were raised.

Secondly this image shows a strong sense of raw emotion and additional themes of photo journalism, it shows a presence of emotion as well as conceptual idea presenting peoples feelings and also what they want in the world.

These last two images I  was inspired as it tracks human behaviour and activity as one existence and conceptually how we all ignore each other and do not view each other as equal.I think this demonstrates a movement as a wide view to capture society.I wasn’t influenced by a apseicifc artists but more the means at which all photojournalism and surrealism artists work to capture people in a certain light to present a conceptual meaning of truth.

for my shoot I too want to capture truth but will additional edit the images to presents a surrealism effect such as manipulating and adding more hands, or editing the scenario they are surrounded by. locations need to be areas in which travel is highly occurring and used to presents  a humans active life and actions .It also presents  conventions of a persons life and a routine in which we all stick to as a society because it is how we are expected to behaviour and act as a whole group.

Ketty la rocca

Ketty La Rocca was born 14 July 1938, in La Spezia, Kingdom of Italy – and died 7 February 1976, in Firenze,

Her work focus on beauty conventions and breaking them, this artist specifically also demonstrates human behaviour and the relationship people hold within each other;The art of La Rocca acts as a form of  visual poetry, visual art, and performance. She explored language, images, and scenes of the everyday world. She emphasized the imagery of bodies.She examined their potential for expression. She combined hands and words. She desired to create a different language, a more visceral communion in which the physical body, gestures and the written word were intertwined. She was a leading exponent of body art and visual poetry movements.

Analysis of her work:

This image is almost symbolic for how we are tried and confined by a certain behaviour or have a constant fear to act or look a certain way. I think my previous idea and this artist would make a very interesting shoot altogether.
