Project Description

>The description is unclear due to its length and lack of editing. It would also have benefited from been written in the third person affirmative rather then the first person.


>>The project explores the ideas of gender, gender roles through role playing.

>>This reenactment of situations from photographs taken by other artists or photographs of other artists will take a documentary form of recording the performance.

>>Photographs chosen for re photographing are all of females.

>>Its an investigation of the femininity and masculinity by using a male form (me) to reenact the female actions / poses / roles.

After first three shoots this became the first think that I've started developing.
I'm still looking / exploring the idea of gender. The role playing aspect didn't work at all. Instead I've decided to focus on the performance. I've also decided to drop the whole part relating to the femininity and female gender. I've decided that this is too much and not feasible but also it raised the issues of representation and speaking for others (females) which I wasn't comfortable with.
