From the start I had considered choosing 'Religion' as my definite concept on control but as I had to brainstorm a variety of ideas I researched two others:
- Conformity - I think that the way that we were when we were younger and the way that we change is relevant to control because we choose to be this way, following the latest trends, people and general society. Another interpretation of conformity may be 'strerotypes', in class i brainstormed ways of photographing stereotypes and I most liked the idea of happy families and placing the pictures inside a dolls house as the 3D installation art.
- Sin - this idea is one of my favourites because there are so many different interpretations and debates happening in the world of how it is "correct" to live ones life. I chose to address one of the most controlled places of this topic and this was religion and more specific may be Christianity. An idea of photographing this may be to photograph each of the ten commandments in an artistic way or photographing each of the 7 deadly sins in the same way. Below is an example of how I may photograph 'lust' from one of the 7 deadly sins. I haven't yet considered how I will mount it up into a 3D art installation but for the ten commandments I could possible dangle each picture from "the crown of thorns", using pieces of string.
- Fear - the idea that we have concoured our child hood fears, taking control from such a young age interested me. I thought of starting off by doing individual research from people around me, asking them what their childhood fears were and how they concoured them. This will give me inspiration of how to photograph fear because at the moment not much has sprung to mind.
Next week, I intend to try practice photographing all of my three ideas.
