In this series, elements of architecture were taken out of their environment and reconstituted in the form of objects on a white background. The infinite nuances of concrete, make us aware of the wealth of the material and of the remains left by the humans and by Time passing by. Even if the architectures seem austere, spaces seeming uninhabited, dehumanised, Cornillet creates a particular poetry and a mesmerising mysticism. |

Aaron Farley is the photographer who took these photos. These are not real photographs of real things. The original photographs are of water and clouds and these are photographs of those photographs, turned on their side, moved, reshot, reprinted, cut and folded, and reassembled to create a different scene which still looks familiar.

Austrian artist Willi Dorner squeezes human bodies into nooks and crannies for his Bodies in Urban Spaces project. Groups of dancers, climbers and performers wearing brightly coloured clothes run through busy shopping centres and high streets, cramming themselves into doorways, alcoves and any gap they can find in public buildings.

Modernist photography from the Sir Elton John collection:
The Radical Eye: Modernist Photography from the Sir Elton John Collection focuses on the first half of the twentieth century, often referred to as photography’s ‘coming of age’. Artists at this time were transforming how photography was used and their experiments and innovations still impact how we see the world today. "Each of these photographs serves as inspiration for me in my life; they line the walls of my home and I consider them precious gems. I want people to think, ‘I’ve never seen anything like that before, never knew this kind of thing existed’ – just as I did when I first saw these photographs." — Sir Elton John |
In this task we were required to take photos in the studio using paper to restrict the sitter.

David Hepher is a British artist, best known for his paintings of buildings, especially tower blocks, including the Aylesbury Estate. The photos below really intrigued me, the contrast of the paint and concrete buildings in the background.
‘By the late 1990s, buses had suddenly started appearing in the streets with huge photographic images stuck on them, and it intrigued me to see these vast images moving up and down the road. I started to incorporate large-format photographic imagery alongside my painting and use of concrete.’ |
This is a college made using photos I have taken and photos from the internet about Broadwater Farm. I made a trial piece to see how all the photos would look all together.
However my final piece is a piece with a message. The different layers were placed on top of eachother with photos I had mostly taken printed on tracing paper. The first layer is graffiti showing the working class activities and the negative perception of people living in Broadwater Farm due to the riots. The second layer is news articles and photos from a secondary source to show how the riots made a negative media perception. I cut into parts of the photo for light to show through such as news titles and protest banners. I then places photos I had taken of the different estates to put on top to show how they have everything has now changed. Even though there are still negative perceptions of the area, you can see how it has been built up and how people have tried to make it better in 2017. |
