STAPLED
‘Stapled’ comes as part two of the brief ‘50 photos’. For the brief 50 photos, we were instructed to buy a film camera and take photographs that responded to 50 themes. These themes were often vague and conceptual, so we had a lot of room to explore. Items from this list included things like ‘lover’, ‘a great distance away’, ‘pardon’, ‘something enjoyed’, ‘small drop’ and ‘old fogey’.
For the part two of 50 photos, we had to develop our photographic outcomes into a new concept. Before the creation of my zine ‘Stapled’, I was inspired by the artist Annegret Soltau, who distorts the subject of photographs through merging them together with sewing. Considering this method of distortion, I used staples to combine my photographs, creating new narratives for my images.
