Son Of Man
This project illustrates an alternative representation of scenes from everyday life through a series of abstract manipulations of photographs. By manipulating such documentary photographs, the project presents an alternative virtual world apart from modern society. The photographs' composition and colour also go some way to disguise the feelings of the first consciousness, removing some of the subconscious stereotypes of inherited cultures and natural landscapes. The surreal nature of this project is also intended to provoke fantasies of the future and focus on the present state of being. In this project, elements emphasise the recreation of natural and human landscapes while depicting the psychological state of 'awe' and 'fear' that mystery brings to people. At the same time, the project is partly inspired by the society affected by the pandemic, and the group of photographs aims to provoke a subconscious reorganisation of memories of the present and fantasies of unknown space and time. The creation of which will process the real scenes recorded in the camera in an absurd style and with unreal colours, thus creating altered information and bringing about an ‘invented’ memory.
