Distancing myself from rationale as opposed to method: rid of the walls, not the machine!

Through a night-thought, I remembered that a tutor had encouraged me to see how far I could push my manifesto (previous project) in the form of a poster. Remembering this, I wanted to blow up a page as large as was practical in my mind for the first experiment (double A0). For this, I used the last page of my manifesto. This was the page that was favoured by a couple of tutors, mostly because it focused on shape and composition within image rather than the written word.

It was such a fun, hands-on process: organising the paper on the floor and crawling around to stick everything together. Although it required tedious work, it was actually really enjoyable. This has been the most beneficial working process that I have engaged with yet: executing and trying out ideas rather than thinking too much about them. Then allowing them

The double A0 posters were beginning to feel a little small, so I thought I’d take a shot from my 400% film series. The third image is the Mona Lisa far beyond its true existence, aura-less, fed through the photocopier 200 times and blown into an oversized print. It is absolutely disassociated from its original self.
