We were given a quote in class and told to imagine we were a character in a world that the quote suggests. From there we were to produce a collection of images that describe the world. My quote was “Space melts like sand running through one’s finger”. I clung to the word “space” and created an alien being that’s being transported across the universe. In the narrative, he wakes up in a ship and observes his surroundings.
I needed to create very bizarre surroundings to match the narrative. I tried many failed methods, but I ended up photographing flour and water on glass. The whole thing was lit from many angles with different colored gel lights. I was trying to create different scenes out of flour that didn’t look like a pile of wet flour.
