Time as an Element: Party till you drop

ORIGINAL PICTURE

RECREATED PICTURE

The facebook post says "Crazy party at the Guenther's last night"

    Some of my ideas for Time as an Element was to make a time machine, take pictures of places I went during my day, and to recreate a picture. 

     I chose to recreate a picture of my sister and I  from  when we were little. This concept has been done over and over so I wanted to make it original by having similar posing with the same people (grown up of course), but I also wanted to modernize it. 

    I demonstrated Time in my work by the use of photography capturing the same people in the same poses yet the photos look very different because the scenery and people changed over time. 
    
    I chose to use photography as my medium because it could most accurately portray the recreated photo.  By using photography I could download the modern picture to facebook.

     I used photography and photoshop in this project. I first I took the recreated picture of Gabby and I and I made sure it was as close to the first picture as I wanted. Then to display the two pictures the way they would have been displayed in their time period I did the following: 
-original picture: Put it in an old picture frame (how pictures used to be displayed)

-recreated picture: downloaded it to Facebook and displayed it on my iPad. (how pictures are now displayed)
    
     The concept of this project is to show how photogpraphs used to be shared and how that has changed drastically over time. Photographs used to always be physical but usually now they dont even get printed they are displayed over Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr and many more photo sharing sites. In the future will we not have picture frames around our house at all?
