Working Title:
Untitled Kairos C
What I want to do: Develop my practice of photographing unspecified moments on photographic paper with the use of colour
Why I want to do this: The aspect of time always moving forward is something that interests me totally. Because I feel very much time is limited. For example I only have a few short months to make this project. It feels like I am often searching for that perfect moment and it feels time often is un-measureable, for example recently I went to a teashop with a friend who I met on my degree. It felt like we were there not so long, as we chatted the time away, but also a sense of being there for a long time as the sun slowly set and the day turned to darkness. It is these moments I am interested in. I successfully built a project around this aspect, with other ideas of the camera as a spouse or the idea of the camera as a child under my care, I shot this project in black and white, being the easier option of black and white or colour. Now I want to develop this idea with the use of colour and what colour can symbolise for different people. Not just the simple idea of red for anger or love, green for jealousy, red or orange or yellow for danger, but the oppressive nature of vivid colour giving a sense of dystopian nightmare which has come from my first few prints. This dystopian nightmare compliments the nightmare of time disappearing like letting sand run from your fingers.
Also want to be able to correct the colour balance, and discover a neutral look, similar to what our eyes are used to seeing is something that can also represent my feelings surrounding time.
