Assignment Four: False Reality (Surrealism)

The biggest and longest headache among all the assignments. Despite having a week of recess week to brainstorm for ideas, what I came up with is still dissatisfactory, but I took the photos anyway and to hear what my classmates would have to say. I had wanted to fill up the spaces around the cubic wall but did not realise how out-of-place the gate looks in the whole photo until it was mentioned during class.




Ever since Jing asked me considering David Hockney’s works, I began to take interest and like it myself. I thought of doing photo montage which is kind a trademark for David’s works, but still I need a concept for that too. So I continued to brainstorm and brainstorm, even up to the week of submission…that is why I said it a major headache. To be honest, the idea was only conceived one day before the submission of the port folio and I would say I pretty like the feel of the end result, though it isn’t a complex one or have a strong concept behind.


I named it "Break of dawn". It's something like the rooster is the one that witness the transition from night to day, waking the households up with its voice.
