These little fellas are doing their daily job on these delicious food landscapes. All of this food seems even tastier somehow. This photo-art project was created by Akiko Ida and Pierre Javelle and its exposition will take place in Biarritz, France.

+Evaluation

n  My aim for the photos was to take picture like the husband and wife akiko ida and Pierre Jevelle.

n  I think I have achieved my aim towards the photos I took because my photos look similar to akiko ida and Pierre Jevelle.

n  I used food and small people in my pictures and I took some of the photos from some angles so these were some of the things that are similar about my pictures and akiko ida and Pierre Jevelle.

n  I think my photos look really good because the technique I used which is the cooling filter made it stand out

n  I can improve my picture a lot because the quality for some of them is really bad but it looks okay. I could of used different small men because the one I used were just brown I could of got some with faces on them and different colours

n  My background of the photo could have been better because the one I used look really boring and dull

n  †he strength of the picture is that it’s a cake which draws people attention towards the photo. The weakness is that I should of used other object

+Mari Mahr "A Few Days in Geneva."

Through Mahr's work we glimpse fragments of all the personal and cultural influences on her life, from the 'magic realist' fantasies of Latin America; to the harsh realities of communist Hungary to the nostalgia of pre-war Europe passed on in stories and pictures, from mother to daugher.

+Mari Mahr Presents from Susanna

I have constructed a stage on which to converse with my daughter. The stage (her vocation) is set against a Chilean landscape (where I was born and a place of lifelong concern to my mother). I feel I am here passing on to my daughter all that has been passed on to me by my mother."

'I only have to cross the channel to the continent and see those farmiliar cobblestones and rooftops to make my childhood memories come flooding back. This record of a short trip to Geneva is about such a time'

+Evaluation

n  My aim for the photos was to take picture like Mari Mahr

n  I think I have achieved my aim towards the photos I took because my photos look like Mari Mahr

n  I print out my first set of photos and I put some small men in front of them and I took some picture of them

n  I think my photos look really good because the technique I used which is the cooling filter made it stand out

n  I can improve my picture by using different props and using different backgrounds

n  My background of the photo all really cheerful because they is a picture of a cake and cookie and small men

n  †he strength of the picture is that it all the small people at the front stand out because they are in focus and the background of the photo is out of focus

+Naoki honjo

Another photographer who is using the same technique and who comes to my mind immediately is the German photographer Marc Raeder with his Scanscape series.

+Sian Bonnell 

Sian Bonnell will lead the third Discourse in Contemporary Art seminar. Sian works with found objects and household articles; placing them out of context within the rural and coastal environment where she lives, as well as constructing imagined landscapes in the studio. These interventions are then photographed as documents not just of the object but of an event. Rather than seeking out distant high or lonely places which carry a sense of the exotic, spiritual or sublime, Bonnell is happy to work with familiar everyday objects in a mundane rural landscape. This undercutting of the rhetoric of romanticism is employed to comment on and create other fictions; landscapes of the imagination.
