Physical Images Straight Image


This is my physical image created by taking a photograph of the horses behind the fencing. This photographer that influenced me to create this image was John Baldessari, specifically his picture: "Tiger with three trainers". The picture by John highlighted the helplessness of the tiger being forced to jump through a flaming hoop. This helplessness is also emphasised in this photograph that I have created since the black and while, low saturated effect of the photograph brings out an unsettling feeling to the viewer. The fencing of the original photograph was stuck over with the paper which even further highlighted the helplessness of the horses. However the only difference between "Tiger with three trainers" and my photograph is that the tiger is coloured by stuck on paper while the horses in my image are not.
