Since curation was a large part of my work – looking at how the symbiosis of curation changes the reading of the images – I wanted to create a page that simulated this. We all went to the capture studio, and when it was my turn I tried to recreate the “curated wall” for my work, but it never looked the same in the pictures and didn’t quite work.
For my publication pages I looked at how to display them in a way that represented them accurately, that showed the image but also the feeling I was trying to cultivate. Since the pictures of the layout in the capture studio hadn’t worked in my opinion (I asked the group and they agreed) I tried cropping the images down to just the image and placing them on the page as I would the wall. This however felt too sterile, so I tried bringing some of the shadows back in with the lasso tool. This looked too messy and after asking the others, I decided to crop them differently.
I tried to replicate the size ratios so that it represented the pieces and their synergy authentically. Digital curation is very different to physical curation.
