Recess Week

For this week, we went to Gillman Barracks as our research trip. I have taken many useful images which have strong connections to my trend prediction.

BIRDHEAD's unique documentary approach entails lensing a huge volume of photographs that capture a board range of subjects, including the diaristic snapshot of their daily lives, activities, and travel.

If you look at something from a different angle, you look at it from a different point of view. Some of the more absorbing photographs are often ordinary things viewed from a different perspective. As this picture depicts simply just picture, but if you look at it from to far angle and be more creative. It actually tells a story. Therefore, to raise new possibilities, new question, to regard old problems from a new angle, require wild imagination and think creatively.

Book of Maurizio Savini

I am intrigued by the artworks of Maurizio Savini, so I went to library and found his book to do futher sutdy of his artworks. In the modern world, economics and politics are dominated by dichotomies, fractures and obvious contrasts. He creates the artworks by using chewinggum as clay to form facinating sculptures, some of his work frames inside shatterproof glass as shown above which illustrates the modern using of technologies and zagiazes.

To conclude this session,  the desire to have a better lifestyle constantly increases as people are never satisfied, and are often finding ways and means to develop something better.

This action eventually lead to the rise of fetishism. In reference to the picture above from Gillman Barracks , it depicts a modern photographer expressing his lifestyle. I personally feel that the image is an illustration of fetishism, as the woman is nude, and lying in a cloud setting. It symbolizes something spiritual, and the grey color accompanied by it brings out a sexual yet relaxed mood.

Based on my research in fetishism in fashion, the fetishism is a theory of substitution to our daily lives as one of the inevitable element to modern living style. As I started to research deeper into the topic, I grew more interested as for me, I did not see it just as something to be applied in fashion, but also a new way of life.
