Conclusion

This brief for me started of as a bit of a challenge because my knowledge of different literature was not that good. However after researching how visual metaphors can be used and coming across the poems from Auschwitz it inspired me.

One of my main concerns when taking my images was thinking if it was appropriate to be taking images of Auschwitz in 3D.

When it came to editing my images I began to realise that my images benefited from being in 3D because it created a contrast between the image and the method used for viewing them.

One of the problems I came across when it came to displaying my work was finding somewhere to exhibit it and how I was going to display it. Then I was asked to take some photographs for a computer company for them to display in their shop. They were interested in my 3D images and said I could have a display in their shop for as long as I wanted.

The next issue was deciding how I wanted to present my prints. I decided because I wanted my images to be interactive and get the viewer involved, I would display them on their counter where customers could then pick up the glasses and look through the pictures.

Overall I have enjoyed this brief and found it to be one of my favorites. By looking at the different literature it has taught me how to go about creating images and made it easier for me to come up with ideas based around it.

Exhibition Spaces

For the second part of my Professional Studies project we have to exhibit the work.

I have been asked to take and display images for a computer shop in Radcliffe called MK Computer Care, they were interested in my 3D work and were kind enough to let me display it in their shop.

MK Computer Care
Seddon House
Seddon street
Radcliffe
M26 4TF

I chose to display the images on the desk top so that people could pick up the glasses and look through the different pictures.

Susan May Tell

While researching I came across photographer Susan May Tell.

Susan May Tell is a American photojournalist whos traveling exhibition Requien is a tribute to the spiritual space at Auschwitz.

Using poetry by Stanley Kunitz this book was about showing the spiritual space at Auschwitz

Her exhibition

She says her work combines her life experiences and Jewish heritage with poetic and photographic influences: poets William Carlos Williams and Stanley Kunitz; and photographers André Kertesz, Walker Evans, and Roy DeCarava. she considers her Auschwitz images to be poetic images that profoundly illustrate what she strives for in her work:

May States,

"A Requiem" shares a common perspective with all peoples who have experienced violence and loss. I created this exhibition to provide a visceral experience: for visitors to feel the presence of unspeakable horror, convey the ever present pathos of desolation, and give a real sense of the large scale of this death camp. My intention is to touch a respondent chord in a diverse and wide group of nationalities, religions, and cultures. In turn, "A Requiem" will create a dialogue about killing fields the world over and the universal problems of hate and evil.

"We learn, as the thread plays out, that we belong Less to what flatters us than to what scars." - Stanley Kunitz.

My goal is for viewers, upon seeing these photographs—the relics, and abandoned property of the former camp—to feel the pain, suffering and experiences of those who were imprisoned.

The exhibition places visitors inside this landscape by suspending the large scale photographs from the ceiling in a winding path. Visitors will walk along this path as if they were walking through Auschwitz itself.
