Outside In.
In this project he used a box camera. He would then go on a journey, find small things and put them inside his camera. He would then take a photo of the things inside his camera and something in the background of where he found them.
This project shows us a new way of describing a journey. We never stop to think what can be found on a journey and so Stephen Gill is taking a different view to photography on journies. This work has inspired me to see how we involve ouselves in jounrnies in different ways, for example a journey into media and a journey into screens.
Buried
In this project Stephen takes a picture of a place and then he digs a hole at that place and buries the picture. After a week or so he would come back to the spot, dig and find the picture again to see how it came back.
Some of the photos were effected more than others. Weathering could have effected the photo a lot making a big impact on the photograph. However, the photo could be ruined by the soil and weather because it could cover up the actual picture and so we couldn't see the picture taking away the effect of the picture.
In this project, it is that actual photograph itself that has taken the journey and we get to see the results of this. I like this idea because the picture will have the same texture of the place that was photographed. The paper the photograph is on will have the same effect of the photograph. It is like the photograph has gone on the same journey through time as the area.
This project has taught me how photographs can really capture journies by creating layers which help to make the images more 3 Dimensional.
