How each work relates to my own work.
Each one of these photos relates to my work in some way, the first image by Zoe Leonard is something comical, or interesting about the human condition, it shows a situation that is not out of the ordinary but because of the combination of text on the store front the work makes me laugh. The Second work by Sarah Pickering shows a time forgot, in this case appliances that are part of a past place in time now re-contextualized into a work of art that shows the beauty of something otherwise regarded as trash. The third photo by Yossi Milo also is a comment on society, in this case it goes against the notion that comes to mind when thinking of the discipline and otherwise stern outward appearance of Asia and its art, instead the men fit that role but the donkey is peeing breaking the seriousness of the photos and making it more intimate to real events rather than outer word projection.
