Have been to see the Family in British Art exhibition at the Millennium Gallery in Sheffield. Two pieces in particular caught my eye.
Firstly, a photographer called Jonathan Turner was commissioned to photograph Sheffield Families and what 'family' means to them.
Unfortunately I can't show any photos on here as the collection is not available online yet.
Secondly, one piece of video art gave me the idea to play with sound in the film. It was a piece in which two brothers are talking about their mother and a mother talking about her boys, but the voices had been recorded and the opposite party had lip synced what they were saying (so we would see the mother speaking in the boys' voices). I would like to play with sound so that the portraits in the film are more visually interesting: we are not just watching one person talking about themselves. This could possibly mean seeing the people acting naturally and hearing their voices over the top. It could also involve some sort of juxtaposition in which the person's face does not reflect the manner in which they are speaking.
Again, the video is unavailable online.
