This is a short (3 minute) video that I prepared for my Studio Practice work at the ANU School of Art. In part it was done to develop my skills with Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro and Audition, but it was also a vehicle for exploring some themes that I am researching.
It explores how and why it is that the juxtaposition of still images creates a different experience for the viewer to that of viewing a single still image. Related images can inform the viewer in ways that the individual images don’t, and the juxtaposition of apparently unrelated image content may reveal relationships and dimensions not disclosed by the single images.
Sounds dull? Well actually it’s quite a nice little piece – with voice and music…
Impressive! I was searching for the definition of juxtaposition in photography and found your video. I was reading the note and see some example on single image, but I can’t quite see the impact. With a pair of image, now it is much clearer. Thanks for making the video 😀
