Duane Michals
Source:
Paradise Regained 1968
From My initial research into Duane Michals I have found an explanation from Lauren Harris Photography
'The sequence tells a narrative story of a regression of evolution, transitioning from an artificial office environment to a natural area full of plants and nothing man made."
''Shot in black and white to further emphasis the stripping back of technology."
I like this image because I think people should go back to a simple way of living or being.
If i was to look at this frame by frame i think it works well as a story because they seem to relax through each frame as they get stripped of their clothing and identity. I think they are comfortable with each. Maybe the woman is in the background because first was Adam and then Eve.
You do feel that you are in the room with the couple as it is set at eye level and I would like to do this myself in my own Sequential story, as i think it draws the viewer into the image and what the photographer is trying to show.

My friend recommended me to watch a film called "La jetee" which is a film constructed almost entirely from still photos. It is 28 minutes long and shot in black and white.
This is interesting because it is presented in a movie form instead of the poster layout form like Paradise Regained from Duane Michals. It would be an idea to produce a short film using the sequential photograph method for a future project.

This is a good attempt at initial research you did state how you would like to use this in your work however you do need a little more depth here and looking at more than one source would have helped - in terms of sequential photography what have you learnt from this?
ReplyDeletei will do, thank you :)
DeleteI am glad you have improved this - the film you are discussed which is made of still photographs is by the artists I am discussing in my blog Chris Marker for my own project. It is not quite sequential images in the same sense as here
