Photograph narrative...

The Man's mind is in a whirl.
Harsh stones against the soft grass. Stones show that he is stuck in thought.
Tulip= woman in Fribourg, Dandelion= Simple, Weed= Boring
3 Pathways.
Different pathways. Complicated.
Simple, boring, Lust.
Simple, boring, lust.
Taken from a pub hill in Stockport an overview of what he can see.


In response to a short chapter taken from Alan Lightmans' seminal book 'Einsteins Dreams', I was required to produce a photographic narrative consisting of 8 images.

My chapter was about a man who was in 3 frames of mind. As it says, " To the east, he can see the fragile steeple of St. Vincent's Cathedral, to the west, the curved roof of the Zytgloggeturm. But the man is not looking east or west. He is staring down at a tiny red hat left in the snow below, and he is thinking. Should he go to the woman's house in Fribourg? His hands grip the metal balustrade, let go, grip again. Should he visit her? Should he visit her?" This to me seems like his mind is split 3 ways and he is stuck around time and is unsure what to do.

The whole chapter goes on about how this man should either go and visit a woman in Fribourg who he lusts for, stay put with his life carry on drinking in the oub with his friends and meet a woman who cooks, cleans, who he takes long slow walks with.. basically a simple easy, life, or should he buy a new coat. 3 options...

I took this and carried on with the 3 options in my photographs you can see that the ones that consist of 3 objects you can see which is the exciting, safe and simple boring one.
