EXTRA CREDIT: for those with absences only

*You may only attempt this extra credit if you have an absence - it is not intended to make up for missed points on other assignments.
*This extra credit is worth 10 points, the same amount as your weekly projects. In order to get the full points, the effort you put forth should be on par with those assignments.

A PICTURE WITHIN A PICTURE
Take a photograph, print it, place it in another setting and rephotograph. (This second image you create should contain the first photograph - do not use photoshop to do this.) When placing the photograph in the environment, consider its size, shape and content. The first photograph should add to the narrative present in the second image. Consider playing optical tricks on the viewer, mixing abstraction with concrete imagery, using the first image to add to the psychological depth of the second, or constructing an image that asks a question and then answers it.

format: your image must be printed 18x24 or larger on kinkos black and white large scale xerox printer. (Don't worry its affordable.) Keep in mind that your print will be black and white - do not rely on color, be careful with dark images - its a xerox - high contrast will look best. Mounting is not necessary. Due in class on the 7th/8th of December.

Artist statement: Tom Sachs

Tom Sach’s attitude:

  • the value system in people - materialism, and complaint on fast food culture
  • people blindly buy things from recognizable brands
  • busy city people usually will get addicted to eat fast food because it can save most of their time in a day to get more work done - hinder the chance for these busy people to enjoy the beauty of food




Picture 1) Speed - busy - drive fast on freeway



Picture 2) save time on fast food - drive through




Picture 3) The ultimate way to speed up buying the fast food - an assistant dropping order in the drive thru




Picture 4) how busy the city people are - grocery shoppings and dining together



Picture 5) The way to eat that save the most time - lost the beauty




Picture 6) In order to save the most time, there are a lot of rubbish left



Picture 7) trash everything away at fast food - to save the most time



Picture 8) nature of the materialism - money



Picture 9) Consumerism - how people spend crazily using credit card



Picture 10) Buying a lot of things
