FMP - Photomanipulation

So, it has only been two weeks, but this project has already undergone several transformations. This weekend, I need to figure out how to tie all of these threads together into a coherent trail of thought.

I’m also setting up video interviews next week - both for research purposes, and also to display as part of the final installation. Speaking of, at least I have finally decided on what form this project will ultimately take - that of an installation. I’ll be drafting the questions to ask during the interviews as well this weekend.


Shown in this post are two images - one from the student protests back in 2011 (of which I was a part - feels like a lifetime ago now), and the same image broken down into what I felt were the consituent parts of a protest:

  • Protestors - Purple

  • Placards - Red

  • Police/Stewards/First responders - Blue

  • Members of the public - Dark Grey

  • Physical structural boundaries - Yellow
