| Suit by Wolfgang Tillmans |
This is our groups Large Format image. The idea behind it is based upon Wolfgang Tillmans 'Suit' which is about how even when clothes aren't being worn, they still have the essence of human presence. I think this is a really interesting idea and when you look at the clothes with this in mind, its almost as if you're looking at another figure, like they seem to have life. The clothes are a mix of peoples in our group, which was about wanting to depict a piece of each of us. If each item is human, it shows a part of us all, but through one being.
Originally we thought about taping the clothes to the wall, but we thought this would look less figure-like, so instead we put together a frame that we could hang the clothes off. I think it worked well and i like the frame and plug being on show, it add's to the idea of something being contrived and not necessarily real, though maybe on first glance the figure looks real.
We did have a second shot, but unfortunately the image didn't come out as it got stuck in the processing machine! But we moved the bars out of shot, and dangled the clothes from the pole so it was completely on it's own. If we had time we wanted to also try some different lighting.
