I have selected an array of images to use as inspiration for my own photo-sculpture. I like the idea of distorting my original images and focusing on shapes and layers in my sculpture.

“There is a vast difference between taking a picture and making a photograph,” declared Heinecken, who rejected the idea of photography as a mere recording device. In this work, a series of segmented photographs of a nude female figure are affixed to the sides of nine rotating blocks. Borrowing practices normally used in sculpture or modernist abstraction, Heinecken expanded what we expect of photographs, here insisting on their interactivity, dimensionality, and ability to puzzle.

I chose to look at Fractured Figure Sections because it is a unique and memorable photosculpture. Heinecken’s work tends to feature Multiexposures and inverted colours and this piece is no different, it does however have the added 3D element of there being multiple faces, as well as the fact that these faces can be moved to create the desired image of the viewer. This could tie into ideas of the portrayal of women and beauty standards as the faces of the sections are all based off of one original image of a naked woman. This idea of customisation by the viewer could tie into the male gaze and women being expected to change themselves in order to be seen as appealing by other people.

Goudal’s work often features images of one environment placed inside a different contrasting one. Jetée features a collection of images of a pier placed inside some kind of run down, industrial looking room. Both places are old and manmade and Goudal made sure to line up the perspectives of the interlope between images to make their combination more seamless, while also leaving the noticeable cracks between the images of the jetée. The water on the floor below the pier image make it look as if water has spilled through, creating another strange connection between the two images. Goudal’s pieces are often about contrast, often between manmade structures and the natural world, which is seen in this piece as well, the warms dark greys of the indoor environment contrast the lighter cooler colours of the outside world.

Artist Research

For my research and inspiration, I looked at work from Felicity Hammond– an emerging artist who works across photography and installation. Fascinated by political contradictions within the urban landscape her work explores construction sites and obsolete built environments. Her sculptures are abstract in the way that they are all small parts of a larger sculpture that constructs a landscape.

First Model Idea

My first idea is to use these 4 photos from the My Rock project, and stack them similar to an ascending spiral staircase.

Final Version

For my final version, I will be more precisely measuring the slits on the photos, as well as on the base to make sure the model stands sturdy and straight. I will also be using toothpicks to create a sort of spine for support.
