Description: This project will consist of a series of photographs that will be hung on the wall. There will be three or four photos, the first one is of someone sitting with their hands together in prayer. The second, someone sitting crossed legged and arms in a Mudra (Buddhist hand positions). The third, is of someone kneeling, arms stretched out, and head facing down (this is like the prayer position of the Islamic faith). In all of the photos the models will not have there faces shown and there will be a iPod with the model wearing the headphones in each of the photos. The photos will also have wires that will be connected to one pair of headphones that the viewer will be able to listen music playing. The outlet for the audio would be intergrated into the photo. The audio playing will be songs that are distorted but still recognisable with phases repeated that related to concept of music and religion. And since the poses of the models are from different culturals the audio track will include different music from around the world. I also want to include a pillow in front of the photographs for the viewer to sit down and think.
Creative Problem: How can I make sure the audio and photos fit together withtout either one over shadowing the other? The music I include with the poses, will they be offensive or bring out strerotypes?
Ideas/ Subject Matter/ Theme: With the headphone wiers connected it relates to music being universal and can connect anyone from around the world. The headphones, instead of speakers, it allows the viewer to become enclosed in the audio,the photographs, and the subject matter. As well, many people use music to shut the rest of the world out and focus on their own thoughts because there is no judgement and no rules, in music, giving people an outlet.
