final outcome for binary opposites

This is my favourite comparison out of the 4 for many reasons. I also didn’t use one of my edited photos in an altered landscape style as i thought it wasn’t appropriate as what i want to show was development and change. First, I feel as if this area in the photo is the most developed, meaning more comparisons between the two.

once difference between the photos is the flooring, in the older photo, you can see the road is cobbled whereas now, the road is tarmacked with parking lines painted on. In the left front corner of the old photo, there is no obstructions, in fact the whole road is clear, comparatively in the modern photo, there’s a bin, rafts and cars obstructing the road all the way down.

My work is similar the Rauschenberg’s as we both set out to do our projects with the same intentions of rephotographing locations in older photos we have both previously found prior to the project. However we differ by Rauschenberg studying and recreating all photos previously taken my Eugene Atget. Whilst my photos were found on the Jersey archive page, taken by unknown and potentially different photographers.

Anthropocene is shown in this photo through all the changes. The tarmacked road, cars and rafts that weren’t previously there, but put there by human activity.
