Time P2 Suburban housewife

For this class, we had to use photoshop and lawyer photos onto one another to create the impression of several figures in one shot at once.  I took 30 different layers and amassed them into this collage.  The idea behind it is simple.  I wanted to do something sinister looking while also referencing 50’s suburban society creating a fun and cruel idea of the past.  No commentary on society and more of just pleasure to the eyes which is what fashion is all about.

 

Time Collage

For my collage, I chose to completely scrap the idea of molding lettuce and went with one moment in time. Inspired from Iris Van Herpen, and I wanted to look at the movement of water at one second of time.  To show the concept of time of water, I chose one exact moment from a video of water being thrown against a backdrop.   Water in regular time is ugly and lacking of any definite shape, but freeze water to one moment of time, and it transforms into this organic monster.   I am completely obsessed with this outcome and love looking at the collage of different shapes of water.   This speaks to me a lot, because I work so much and try to keep constantly moving, but if I just sit still and take in every second, I start to enjoy the single seconds.   Slowing down is an art of itself.
