Typologies



We had a lecture on photographic Typologies today which reminded me of a few artists who are doing work relevant to mine.

Bernd and Hilli Becher - I have already put a link to their work on this blog


Thomas Struth - JPEGs - large format photos which are really pixelated and as you get closer to them you lose all definition.



Jason Salavon - Playboy centrefolds. This is a series of works where he has taken centrefolds of every issue of playboy magazine of each decade (60's, 70's, 80's, 90's) and layered them digitally and using some kind of mathematical sequence which results in a faint abstract image that you can barely makeout. He is commenting on the digital media and the set formalities of photography.
