This week I have been working with the projector in the studio again. It really is an exhausting process but a very valuable one. The act of shooting and re-shooting these ideas for pictures I have in my head brings me closer to what I am actually trying to say with this series.
I think I have been avoiding what the true message is behind these pictures..mainly because I would like to think that I am normal..that I'm not crazy.
Bristen is a figurative and literal split of myself…maybe I have some form of bi-polar disorder.
It is something inside my head that keeps my mind and body dangling between to selves.
Which one is good? Which one is bad? Can that even be deciphered?
I don't think that Kristen could exist without Bristen, and vice versa.
I don't want to solve this schism within myself, but explore it and come to terms with it.
I've been looking at Saul Leiter's Early Color collection recently. Throughout this series Leiter uses glass and reflection to skew his subjects. I've attached a link and a few of my favorites below.
