Majjor Project: Initial Ideas

 For Digital Arts we are going to create a major project in our subject area.  My subject area is Photography/Film, so I will begin on this post to explore some of the ideas I have been thinking about. 

Trump Inauguration 20th January 2025

I have been thinking about the Trump Inauguration as this greatly upset me, we are now in Trump World which is agains all my liberal value and so I wanted to make a response to this using Performance art.  I would like to do something to express my feeling of disgust and despair so I was think of Yoko Ono's Performance Art and Music. Below is a video of Screaming with John Lennon - I like the idea of screaming and it being a performance of some kind - perhaps in different locations.

Yoko screaming in Get Back (n.d)

I also thought again about experiencing Pippi Lotti Rist in a gallery lying on the floor, the film was clelebration of the feminine and it was experiential.  Here is another example of Rist which I think is more about performance and sound 

Pippi Lotti Rist, Wicked Game (1995)

In this song it starts off quite calm and then descends into screaming, I like the visuals and the audio with Rist singing the song until it is incmprehensible screams.  In my own piece I like the idea of the visual being quite strange so different loactions are good but also perhaps different mes, or maybe many repeated me's.  This is multiplicity photography and I have done this before but with more locations and a strong theme I think this could be done well in ths project. Here are some examples...

Multiple Boys Example (n.d.)

Multiple Girl Examples (2017)

I need to explore more of these ideas in much more depth however as first thoughts I quite like some of the ideas here. I will be looking at some intended research for my project in my next post and this will help me to develop my final idea for my project.
