Today the V&D students visited the Photographer's Gallery on Oxford Street. When we arrived we were greeted by a member of staff that kindly gave us a talk on selected works in the Gallery. The trip really helped me develop my ideas for my Instillation piece. Although the Gallery predominantly displays photography there are some really interesting plays on what photography can involve and also some installation works. For example Sculptural Photography. One piece that we viewed consisted of a line of photographs that were produced in order to display a piece of chewing gum that had been moulded in the mouth to create shapes of animals etc then placed in and around spaces on the street.
Another interesting play on photography, was a piece that was made up of 6 years worth of photographs that had been pulped then moulded into 3 rather large square blocks. Before today I never thought of photography becoming sculpture. The Gallery is well worth a visit if contemporary work tickles your fancy.
