Part 1:
Composition: A tryptic of images depicting two characters having an argument. Both of them are played by the same actor.
Concept: Constructed identities. A breakup.
Method: I created two characters that looked fundamentally different one from the other but were in the same space and interacted one with each other, which is the next step to just constructing reality. The key element was keeping the same lightning and having a reference point so both characters could interact with each other.
Motivations: Fun and Experimentation. It is also based on my personal story. When I was in therapy, the doctor told me that one way to release anger was roleplaying the other person I was involved with and let him know what I wanted him to know. After passing through a heavy break up I portray both characters on the relationship as best as I could.
Context: Constructed reality. I think some other photographers have done constructed identities, but I wanted to go the next step beyond which would be interacting with them.
Part 2
Interpretation: People were intrigued but they did not capture much of the drama or the narrative behind it. Maybe it was because of the lack of a backstory.
Evaluation: One way I think of making it more impacting and interesting would be to recreate the characters and make them completely different and more relatable and easy to read.
Extension: The final project deals with dualities, two sides of the same coin and constructed identities.
