Fashion Construsted Image: Progression of Concept


Initially inspired by Andy Warhol, our 60's themed shoot has changed somewhat from when we started. After further research into his work, and work of other artists around at this time, a common theme of anti-consumerism became apparent. This was an idea that we all liked, and wanted to put into the work, but were struggling to find away of doing this, whilst still keeping with the 60's style.

After our tutorial, we came to the conclusion that we should completly focus on anti-consumerism, and came up with a new idea to show this. We decided to drop the 60's theme almost completly, although we still wanted to show the repeatativeness and bold colours of Warhol's work.



This new idea involved having a model laying on a sheet of perspex, covered in products of a certain colour. These products would be from big coorperations who have recently been in the news for doing something wrong. Initial ideas for these products came from this website:

What we want to do eventually, is create a trip-tych, in red blue and yellow, with products from these and other coorperations. As far as the set building is concerned, there isnt very much that actually has to be built, but the logistics of making a project like this work will be hard. As well as this, there are alot of health and safety aspects to look at.
