any ideas cuz' i don't get it....

This project asks you to look at the relationships between language and colour. Assuming that language is a series of propositions that image the world, select a sentence, from any source (your favourite novel, a poem, newspaper article, advertising slogan etc), of between six to ten words. Make an image of each word. Do not feel that you have to produce photographs that illustrate either the word or the sentence as a whole, but look for ways of extending the meanings inherent in both the word and the image, or in their point of collision or divergence.

This is the brief for my second photography assignment and I am STUCK!!!!! any ideas on the interpretation of this brief highly appreciated.....

Time to ask your uncles Roger and John even if it means winding up with a sentence from Proust or South Park.

their ideas were pretty good and deep so i have to think about it. at the moment, i am leaning towards "in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes" (andy Warhol)... i'm starting to think of how i might tackle it...

i think i like the optimism in it, with everyone getting their chance but also the disposable nature of it, which is so appropriate these days...sadly.

Definitely less dusty than old Proust. With all the atrocious reality shows on these days, Andy sure was right.
