At the start of my blog, I want to talk a bit about my whole pactice at the moment and what my main aims are.
My practice at the moment is now focusing on ‘performance’. The reason to why it’s in quotation marks is because my performace is in still images, leading the audience’s focus on the fact that the work presented are photographs, still images, motionless pictures. What Im trying to achieve is to create motion in those still images.
Inspiration: Gregory Crewdson and Sarah Bahbah
The reason for me to use these two artists as the inspiration is because I was always mesmerised by their use of cinematic approach to their work. Maybe the biggest difference between my work and their is the focus on detail. It is also something that I want to focus more on, because right now Im working mostly with what I have at the moment.
GREGORY CREWDSON
Crewdson is a American artist whose work have entered the world of Hitchcock, David Lynch and paintings of Edward Hopper. The reason for it was his work’s visual silent psychological interzone between the everyday and the uncanny. Crewdson usually works with a large team and plans each image with big attention to detail, light, colour and production design with the aim to create dreamlike scenes infused with mystery and suspense. With attention put on not creating a signifiers of identifiable sites and moments, Crewson creates a world outside time.
