Photography Proposal



Photography proposal   Misplace/ment

Through daily life we see arrangement, organisation and order. One of the biggest ideas I wonder about is the opposite. What would life be like if we changed the order of things? What if you could begin to see what life would be like through a different set of eyes? We are so used to seeing order and neat arrangement that the misplacement of  items or objects causes a stir and this is when art can take place. I intend to develop and create a project based on this exact idea. I want to explore the way not only objects can be out of placed but the vast ways humans and animals can feel misplaced. i want to explore not only the well-known photographers but explore other mediums like art, history and literature. This will help me explore the way people interpret misplacement through both humans and objects. I want to look at photographers like Arthur Tress and Lee Jeffries but also more abstract like John Stezaker and Toni Meneguzzo. These photographers have inspired me to develop my own ideas and the biggest inspiration of the idea of reality vs imagination and a change of perception. I want to open up the ideas I already have and discover more during my future work. The word ‘misplace’ I feel will open up lots of ideas and allow me to explore photographers as it can be interpreted in many different ways.
