WASTELAND, FORGOTTEN STORT,
AND A RECORDER
Through design project 2 I choose to use photos to display a different possibility of looking at the world. I wish I can tell audience a story and let people to release their imaginations
My ideas comes from a story I recently heard. A story of ancient people used to live in the world but eventually they disappeared. Through the buildings and structures they left we were able to see how they live and remember them.
My intention is to tell a fantasy story which associated with what history. People always find a flat history is boring but a fantastic story is attractive.
My story is based on a movie. A story of one-left ancient people who lived for thousands of years. The long time twist his mind and soul. With his magic and will, he create a small area of ancient city. With his friends,his family,and his people. The way to rebuild the whole ancient world is to destroy the one we have now.
So of course he is the villain. Through the hard fight of protagonist and the villain, the conspiracy had failed. And the last word of the villain, the last wish of the ancient people is, “therefore, please don’t forget that we used to live before.” From there I decide the theme of my project should be remembrance. No one would be glad to be forget. So if we can do something for the passed people helping us to remember them, that is my project.
My final design is a group of photos that display a part of the story, one people visiting the ruin and interacting with what is left. You may think the people is an ancient people who suddenly comes back but seeing only ruins or a people who knows the story of past praying for the death.
Therefore the photography is a way to retell this story and trying to remind audiences to know history and to image for future. I read the story through a movie, and I would like to tell the story. To me, words are not strong enough. But another movie is a bit too arrogance. So I want to use photos to tell the legend. As I would study photography in future. I always think photo is a language. If words could tell a story, then so do photos. Using a picture to record history is very different with using words. And use photos to tell a fantasy story is also different with telling a story with words. I would like to look at the difference between them and find a balance and finally, tell a good story.
I have captured several photos of ruins and wasted lands. Also I have a few of them with people. The final outcome would need more editing on color and the design of how to put people into the picture and maybe more using of lights. The project would be a group of photos at least in A4 size for each photos. It can be put one the wall of on the ground.
