I have created my second piece inspired by John Divola, an American contemporary visual artist. He has a series of images called “Zuma” where he goes into abandoned buildings in California at various times during the day and takes photographs from interesting angles and perspectives. He then goes throughout the house spray painting, creating graffiti, breaking things and moving objects around. He then goes around the house again taking more photos.
“Divola’s works trace a schematic desire for escape, movement and transcendence. “
I chose to base my images off this project as I had a good idea of how I could represent loss of identity through a visual representation of mental health disorder, specifically Dissociative Disorders, more specially Depersonalization-derealization Disorder .
I chose this image of a dark, dingy hotel room which was in a state of decay and falling apart which will represent someones head.

Once I had a clear view out the window I chose a photo which i thought would contrast the dim environment in the room.
I added this photo into the project, placed it the layer below and cropped until it looked right and played with the colour settings until it fit in. To add the final part of the image I cut out someone looking out a window to represent personality/conscience.

After adding them in I used the FX to create a drop shadow and used the smudge tool to create a waved effect around the border of the window which I think reflects the idea of it being set in a brain/head quite well.
Overall I think this idea came out very well and looks how I was trying to make it look. It looks similar to John Divola’s work but portrays a slightly different message in a more cryptic way.
