photographic piece

while i was filming for the main part of my work i photographed some of the animals in the zoo. concentrating on their eyes and getting the reflections of their enviroment in their eyes
condor eye

Indian Antelope eye






Please give a brief description of the work you intend to exhibit specifying materials and size.

Work:
Photographic prints (size and number tbc)

Will consist of hi-res images of either the reflections in the eyes of animals or images of animals themselves where the reflection element is present. Need to re-shoot before I can confirm this.
If using the whole image of the animal, I want to find a way to get the viewer to look at the animal’s eyes, may through use of telescopes they can look through which are trained on the eyes of the animal and the reflective element is made evident as the main focal point.
The reflection will contain information of the animal’s surroundings, commenting on their environment.


Please give a brief account of the main themes in your work and how these are contained in the final show?

Nature contained in a human environment (the birds in a zoo with the physical world outside of it) further compressed via digital imaging. By being shown in a gallery it opens it back out into a space containing nature with a natural environment outside. Through the viewer, it is opened out fully in the viewers mind to make them think about the outside natural world
Like showing a mirror to a mirror and getting everlasting reflections.





Please identify any associated Health and Safety/Risk Assessment Issues or any special equipment you may be installing.
Using hand tools to screw the photos to the wall. Lifting the photos onto the fixtures may be heavy with the additional weight of the frames.
