Photographer #11- Wonderland Photographs by Kirsty Mitchell -FALLING-

Wonderland By Kirsty Mitchell

Another idea I have recently explored is the idea of a fairy tale. I have researched into aspects that are specific to certain fairy tales and of the same idea, Alice in Wonderland. I like the idea of the narrative being built up by images and words and lots of little details that explore a story. I love the colours and shapes with Alice in Wonderland. The almost trippy aspect of the movie and book allowed the audience to lose themselves in the book and to allow my theory to be explored in depth. I believe that a story can allow a person to lose themselves and become lost within a book, image, song, movie or anything of the type. This means the person can feel as though they are falling. Falling through literature is something that I could explore as literature has changed so much over time. In order to explore this I need to do more research into these ideas.

I recently did a search on LensCulture of 'Fairy tale and work by the artist, Kirsty Mitchell and she has played around with colours and shapes to create fairy tale like images. The woman looks mystic and enchanted furthering the idea of a false world. It explores the positive side of fairytales which could be the contrast to something I explore.
