Arcana No. 6 - 2011

Flores_surreal_indoor_0038


Flores_surreal_indoor_0022


Part 1:
Composition: Two pictures that compose one single idea of a "human" in a pasive stance waiting, and a human in a active stance, also waiting. Both of them are in the bed and are misterious, eery and surreal.

Concept: Based on "The Lovers" by Magrite.

Method: I wanted to create an eery love scene with both subjects being unable for the reader to relate, thus I took away all of the facial features. I wanted to convey a powerful scene, in which body language had an impact and to fool the audience.

Motivations: play, as in "fun" and as in "theatrical representation".

Context: I am thrilled, excited and lured by Magritte's "The Lovers" and everything surreal. I consider myself, as an artist, a surrealist

Part 2
Interpretation: People were surprised and taken back by it. It was difficult to read, yet it was striking and had an impact. The Active Lover had glasses which made people able to relate to him, however the Pasive Lover was much more surprising and striking for the audience.

Evaluation: Get better lighting. Try other poses. It's hard with no remote control on my hands and it's difficult to pose... however I really like how the pictures turned in.

Extension: I want to keep on "performing" for the camera, and try pictures that are striking, revealing, powerful and somewhat distinct than what we are often accustomed to see.
