For my Museum project I went to the
Kendall College of Art and Design. I took a photograph of a student picture I found
very intriguing. The picture is a man’s watch on the ground. This watch is not
any watch it is a large silver watch that has multiple gears and looks like the
one my dad owns. It is a timeless style, when you think of a men’s watch you
think of this one. The whole watch is not pictured perfectly it looks as though
it was dropped there but intentionally. The ground it is laying in is small pebbles
of different browns and tans. The background is blurred and dark; you can only
see the watch and a small area of surrounding pebbles.
I
enjoyed this piece because I am into fashion and style. I love the use of an
iconoclastic watch just pictured.
Taking
this photo they must have been in very close proximity and the background is
blurred so they must have used some special lighting to create this as well as
adjusted the exposure to only highlight the watch.
My
interpretation is that this watch represents a person or men in general. I think that it is a classic representation
of a man. A watch for a man is a huge deal;
it is like a ring or a specific pair of earrings to a woman.
My
final judgement of this piece is that I like it. I’m not sure if I love the
ground that the watch is on. It looks cool but for me it provides no meaning
accept that it is manly looking. I chose to take a photo of my diamond earrings
that I wear almost every day. This to me is a representation of a woman. I shot
them on a bathroom counter where they are frequently found. That is where my
picture differs I chose I background I also thought fit the context. Earrings
are a man’s watch to a woman. These diamonds studs are timeless and classic.
Simple yet descriptive.
