Week 5
Feedback from the previous week – 12/05/22
- Diagrams as a narrative/Using them to make a story
- Photographs that look like diagrams
How can I connect these things (relationship, contrast)?
Photography book
Diagrammatic Photographs (?)
How can I use this to go further with my work/expand my position/enquiry?
Relationship between images. Some of them are stronger (e.g. brain). Using the photographs to make a narrative as well. The sequence can play a significant role.
Details in a photograph. Use this to convey something. (What do I want to communicate?) Are they connected with the other diagrams I have created?
One of the two can be clearer (not very abstract, not very realistic but still communicating something).
Artist’s Book – Form
bag = evidence (quality of things being packed together).
If I want to use an existing freezing bag, do I want to remove the information? Maybe I want to keep them, and use the actual bag as a ready-made to convey something? Part of the artist’s book. (Andy Warhol – Kellogs, Brillo)
Or, I can make my own bag (silkscreen, print white).
Vacuum? Remove the air from the bag (Exhibition = photograph/poster of the initial book without the air inside the bag, but leaving people to go through the actual piece/ opening the bag, etc.).

Form of the artist’s book:
Developing the idea, already mentioned in Week 4 (freezing ziploc bag, x rubber band).
Using a black marker to remove things, circle things – Replace the word ‘food’ with ‘brain’.
Contents:
Outside
– A4 Book (unbounded) – Series of photographs/ narrative using “diagrammatic” photographs
– An A4 piece of a thick carton in order for the rubber band to work (not bend the above publication). I can use this piece as part of the book. Make holes, etc.
Inside the freezing bag
– Α3 Poster (Brain Study – Diagrams)
– Random story booklet (Diagrams and text)
– Pack of cards – Brain Transformation (Diagrams)
– A4 paper with diagrams – No content, open for interpretation (Diagrams, text, etc.)
– Few postcards [what will be shown inside the bag (on top) – Diagrams]
– Tiny Concertina one-page-book – Recording of thoughts (Diagrams – holes)
