eBay's Red Carpet - Art 108 Final Project

Photography Final Project. "What came first?" A photo series.

Here's the final project I did for my photography class. It's a 6 window mat, bevel cutted, with 6 square prints. The series reflects on the age old parodical question, "Which came first? The chicken? Or the egg?"

Anne Frank Memorial Observation

1) I see a memorial, in the form of concrete seating, walls with inscriptions, and a concrete set similar to an attic. In the center is a bronze statue of Anne looking out of a window.

2) The concrete walls, door, and frame all frame in this representation of an attic, where Anne lived out a huge portion of her life due to Nazi conflict in Germany.

3) Probably the bronze sculpture, because its very dominant in the center and it's in the form of a human, which we tend to look toward.

4) I don't think the memorial is site specific, because Boise, Idaho doesn't hold much significance to the Holocaust.

5) The Idaho Human Rights Education center created and designed the memorial with funding from private donors.

6) Bronze, trees, grass, concrete, water

7) The text on the wall follows in a certain pattern which functions as to where your eye should follow.

8) I think the intended meaning of the text is to guide you through the memorial.

9) Very successful, it ignites a passion for human rights and gives an interactive element to stepping into this representation of the attic that Anne lived in.
