Tender Buttons
The tender buttons, are texts that is not text. These are more like drawing. From the rhythm and the pattern, the draw us pictures. As I think that some of the words means something, such as ‘A WHITE HUNTER. A white hunter is nearly crazy’. It is a drawing that you feel the meaning and let you thoughts go deeper, farther to the other side of imagination. You automatically start to consider how an old hunter dressed in white, doing something that a hunter should not do. He maybe used to be the best hunter among the surrounding, for some reason he falls into insanity. Or he just try so hard and nearly get mad. The short sentence give reader whole bunch of space to image. Some of them give less information or something that needs to a deeper understanding. ‘RED ROSES. A cool red rose and a pink cut pink, a collapse and a sold hole, a little less hot.’ I comprehend the line as a collapse of the bunch of roses, a hole left in the flower shop, and the little less hot describing the owner of the roses. Some are even more likely to be as pure feeling. ‘A HANDKERCHIEF. A winning of all the blessings, a sample not a sample because there is no worry.’ The repetition of sample gives me a feeling of the pattern on a handkerchief. The no worry is like the feel of when we have a handkerchief, we would more relieved.
Hedi Slimane
Slimane, this stimulus gives me a strong feeling of emotion. The things that I noticed is that they have different expression, where there is blank expression, clueless, content, relaxed, and intense. except these, Among the hundreds of the photos, they all give me a strong impact on emotion. It has the power of youth, the motion of rock n roll and the decadent of those life among streets. It is somehow like Slav and gopnik. You can feel that the people and object is right in front of you. The will to freedom and uncontrol fills up the screen. The element that used a lot in the photo is slash. Seldom photo is regular. Most of the have slash and tilt. This makes these photos have more dynamic. These dynamic with those intensive emotion plus the straight use of lights makes the photos real and powerful. The tender buttons have the style of using text to display pictures, and Slimane have the ways to give these pictures emotion and power. That’s why I choose these two to be the stimulus.
From these two stimuli I choose
Image words: highway emotion decadence
