Concept Statement
Chloe, Lilly, Karla
The artwork chosen is Infra realism by Kate Ballis and demonstrations the idea of perception. She used cameras that were converted to full spectrum and she also used various filters to achieve the final intended effect. Perception is represented by distorting the images using colour to highlight and contrast buildings and vegetation. We began the design process by researching the ideas of perception and how we could utilise these ideas in our own artwork so experimented with different materials. Some of the materials were translucent, coloured, scrunched and made our views of objects blurry. After selecting these materials we photographed very common images on the street and of flowers and different vegetation while using the materials to cover the lenses of the camera to distort the otherwise common images. By experimenting with distances between the lenses and materials as well as distances between lenses and objects in the images, we created different perceptions. This is demonstrated through the focus of lenses and how we see an image. Sometimes we focus through the material and the material distorts the object we focus on and other times the focus becomes on the material making the object in the background blurry, changing our perception of what we are looking at. Infra realism also has the ability to highlight aspects of an image that were otherwise going unnoticed which is also evident in our artwork as the materials are used to highlight and disregard aspects of an image to have a different perception of the same image. We used the editing programs to gather the images and videos to further enhance the idea of different perceptions being created with distractions of images and blurred film.
