Love Hate- Dissociative Identity Disorder

The portrayal of the love a couple have for each other despite the female having Dissociative Identity Disorder, and the hatred it can cause. We have portrayed the
extreme emotions that appear using three points of view: the boyfriends view of
events, the first personality of the girlfriend, and the second personality of the girlfriend.

As a group we visually experimented with paint-filled balloons, we did not want to celebrate colour as much as depict a tension of waiting followed by an explosion.
Our initial experiments involved real explosions: hydrogen-filled balloons and underwater igniters, which we followed with a lot of work trying to light up water through unconventional means. None of these finished with a great deal of finesse, so we took to experimenting with paint-filled balloons once more. More than anything, we wanted to communicate a great sense of fun.

Unphotography

To produce a collection of work in answer to the title ‘Unphotography’, what is ‘unphotography’?
My idea of photography is an image that is created with the aid of light, so I have created images in complete darkness by placing different acidic foods onto negatives film.
I created light tight boxes each containing different foods that reacted with air, atmosphere and the film to create an image. They were left to ferment for 8 days and then developed.
The foods I have used are
Box 1: slices of lemon and rind.
Box 2: vodka and coke, both onto P3200 bw negative film.
Box 3: raw pork chop and mint sauce.
Box 4: raw slices of potato and ketchup, both placed onto 800 color film.

Photography - Reconstruction

In answer to the studio/location brief we have produced a piece in response to the theme of reconstruction.

Our initial aim was to make the viewer question what they are seeing; what the truth is in the picture. We focused on the point of waking where reality and dream merge and the lines between them are unclear. As you wake you have little grasp on what is real and what is fantasy, and your dreams mix with the reality around you as you change from one world to another. We wanted to make the viewer question whether they are looking at dreams or reality.

We photographed on location, constructing an environment as our studio. Through a number of shoots we developed our constructed environment and experimented with lighting to define the different states.

Our final piece conveys a sense of a fractured environment; two distorted worlds, one being reality and the other magical, sureal, and dream like.

Love Hate- Dissociative Identity Disorder

To find a truth within society of love and hate and show its consequences.
Through the medium of film we have chosen to portray the love a couple have for each other despite the female having Dissociative Identity Disorder, but the hatred it can cause. Although the boyfriend hates what his girlfriend becomes, his love for her is so strong he knows he must accept what she can potentially then turn into.
The female character through her personalities goes through different emotions from calm, to jealousy, anger, realisation, sadness, happiness, calm and back to anger.
We have portrayed the extreme emotions of love and hate that appear in such an extreme situation with the use of three views: the boyfriends view of events, one of the personalities of the girlfriend, and the second personality of the girlfriend.

Typography: Is it England?

To design a print project that will explore, through typographic/graphic means your vision of the self portrait of England in the near future.
English food: England no longer has traditional dishes that we consume daily, we have adapted other cultures cuisines to suit our own palette. For example Chicken Tikka Massala curry is popular in England, but tikka massala to Indians is only spices, not a dish in its own right.
This restaurant of the future will allow you to select English interpretations of different aspects of different cultural dishes and have them all cooked together in the one restaurant. They will be places to get fastfood that have organic ingredients grown localy.
These restaurants will operate with a new reusable magnetic menu system allowing people to pick and mix the aspects of any culture, as long as the produce is in season. The seasonal nature of the menu will allow variation from month to month of different meats, fish, fruit and vegetables.
