MY ONGOING RESPONSE TO CHRIS PORSZ

Leave a comment 
Chris Porsz compares and contrasts old photos that he had previously taken of individuals and retakes the images years later of the same individuals. My plan of action is to find old photos of my family and friends that were taken in my childhood, and recreate those photos to then be able to contrast them as well. My concept is to display how the journey of life shapes each individuals pathways and how each individuals experiences shapes who they have currently become. Although it can be viewed as a dark subject, some of the individuals have passed away so therefore my work will show how their journey of life has come to an end and how the individuals have learnt to deal with the loss. Also how some of the individuals (such as dogs or old friends) have been replaced in their place and how their journey of life has just begun.
