Project 1 - Photographic Fictions


Project 1


My aim with this project is to create a series of photographs that convey the idea of having literal meanings displayed in the photograph. When I was little I was always fascinated at the fact that the name New World had absolutely nothing to do with grocery shopping. So I though that with this project that I would choose supermarkets and create in those supermarkets the literal meaning of the supermarket name. For example with new world, I want to put into new world a “new world”. I thought of taking photos of the outside of the supermarkets so that when you look into the windows of them you can see the literal meaning of the supermarket name in them.

I thought that this would be interesting as I find supermarkets extremely boring and the temperature is always cold, making it an uncomfortable place. So I wanted to create an imaginative world within these supermarkets like bored children would when having to accompanying their parents when they went food shopping. I want to draw on a science fiction theme a little bit with these photos, with the idea of having a world within a world. I would intend for this work to be put in a gallery.
