contrast + juxtaposition overview In this project, we are going to look at two words, contrast and juxtaposition. These words relate to each other because they refer to things that have differences. We will juxtapose images by putting together contrasting elements to see what happens. contrast: an obvious difference between two or more things juxtaposition: the act or an instance of placing two or more things side by side often to compare or contrast or to create an interesting effect Most people will say that 1+1=2, but I think 1+1 can also equal 3. Here is what I mean. In art, you can take two different elements, juxtapose them to produce a third. The viewer will think about what the individual elements mean, and then, by seeing them together, what new meaning is born by combining them. guiding questions: Does the combination of two or more images create new meaning? Does it change the way we see the images when they are presented individually? Uğur Gallenkuşinstagram: @ugurgallen website: LINK Uğur Gallenkuş is a Turkish photographer that creates images and meaning through juxtaposing social contrasts. You should know his work can be graphic and challenging if you wish to look further. He exposes difficult realities that exist in our world. A good way to find more inspiration is to search ‘juxtaposition photography’. what you have to do:
-How much effort did you put into finding (shooting) the images you use? -Did you take care in assembling your images, or did you just slap it together? -How is the lighting and picture quality? -Did you follow the instructions listed above?
