Projections

Composition: When I composed these photos I wanted to have the image of my projection interact with Andy. I cropped the images in a way that the projection itself would be the main subject of the photos. I wanted to showcase the red, blue, and purple hues of the stereoscopic images I projected and intended for the projection to become three dimensional with the use of 3D glasses.

Concept: I used the vintage stereoscopic images to try to connect the past with present. I overlapped the bodies on the projections over Andy in an effort to connect the two and make the projected forms a part of his form, These images were also an experiment in whether or not the photographed stereoscopes would maintain their 3D properties.  

Method: I collected vintage imagery from three dimensional stereoscopes and projected them over a scene. I looked for instances in which the subject and projected images formed some kind of contact and documented those moments.

Motivations: In this series, I wanted to create a connectedness between subject and projection and experiment with the idea of three dimensional photography.

Interpretations: I feel that others could also see these connections, but wish everyone could have a pair of 3D glasses to give the stereoscopic factor a try!

Evaluation: I think the use of vintage imagery in a modern setting is working, I also feel that connecting the image with the model worked well, and I would like to work this way again.

Extension: I think I will continue to collect interesting images, stereoscopic and otherwise, to project. The way the images curve around a form is really interesting to me and I think I'll keep this in mind for my thesis.
