My Third Project
For my third project, I wanted to try to portray the effects of the dismemberment of women’s bodies in popular media. I was going to do another photo project because I really enjoyed doing my first project. Unfortunately I had a lot of problems with my camera and couldn’t get as high quality of a camera as I used with my first project. Instead, I decided to do a collage using images from several popular magazines.
I took images from Maxim, In Style, Vanity Fair, and GQ and layered them over the photos of me that I had. I wanted to show myself buried under all the dismembered parts of women thrown at us by the media.
Tragically, my project went missing from the ACT Lab classroom, and I didn’t think to document my project ahead of time. So instead of pictures of my project, all I have are testimonials from people in class:
“Which one was your project?”
- Sandy Stone
“I liked it...what did you do again?” - Sadie Hawkins
“It was alright” - Made-up dude I was too lazy to name
“I kinda zoned out when you started presenting. I’m sure it was fabulous” - Omar Shanaa
