In this project I wanted to use the idea of juxtaposition in a more subtle way. My objective was to point out dissimilarities in very similar situations, most especially in the natural world. The different types of flowers are similar structurally but have their distinct personalities and visual differences. I was also inspired by the work of Omer Fast’s camera angles in the piece Spring. The way he approached the same scene from different angles immerses the audience in the setting and exposes a new narrative. I tried to replicate this by shooting the flowers and grass from a distance, creating a mask and putting a layer underneath of a shot of the same flowers from an up close angle. The scene where I layered two different shots of the same lilac tree were to expose the differences between them, from different angles the light approaches the tree in a different way. I wanted to highlight these differences. I used the idea of juxtaposition in the scenes where I shot video of a street covered in litter and masked out a window to a scene of flowers. Color palette was also an important tool in this scene. The brown and caramel tones of the garbage contrast directly with the purple flowers. The color palettes as well as the subject matter add to the concept of juxtaposition used in these frames. I toy with juxtaposition a second time in the project when the black background is placed against the sun. The stark comparison of the black background, the light of the sun and the living flowers show just how often opposites are at play in nature. I also created ellipses shapes to add an unnatural and “tampered with” element to an otherwise natural scene. This was another attempt to add to the juxtapositions of the work.
