What I think of my power piece
December 8, 2008
To be honest when I started this project I did not think that it had much life in it at all and thought that it would really bore me and I would completely regret doing it. This said after doing it and editing the pictures down to my favourite ones I actually think they are o.k. The blurred ones work mixed in with the normal ones as it says that even though Sam may think that he is an individual and other people may think this as well it still doesn’t mean that he can’t get lost. In this day and age it is completely impossible to be a hundred percent individual. After doing the project I started thinking about it a little more and it may have worked a little bit better as a staged piece. Perhaps with Sam in a crowded place like a pub surrounded by drunken people his age with just him stood there in the middle completely sober or maybe a restaurant scene with people eating big chunks of meat while he sits there and eats his salad. I thought about this because looking at the pictures I don’t know whether they completely put across the idea of individuality or whether people may confuse it with loneliness. Thinking about it though can’t these things be seen as being the same thing at times?
