How i Made You Dissapear.

 

This is a contact sheet that i put together as a step by step of how i made the 

character in the images dissappear so i can drop someone else into it.

Circuit Board.

 These images are the photographs that i took to edit and manipulate and form them into towns & cities.

I took varied the angles and focus photographs of these circuit boards.

The Edits In The Making.

   This Picture is taken from the film ''The Crazies''.

  About the inhabitants of a small Iowa town suddenly plagued by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply. 

I have used this image because i thought is showed Dystopia well,

an abandoned road with just one ''sane'' human being.

I have edited the image so it does not show the main character, so then i can drop my own characters into it. 

The edited picture is below.

This image has been take from the film ''The Road''.

A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones, and, when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing: just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless cannibalistic bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a rusting shopping cart of scavenged food--and each other.

It is a sad and horrific story, taken from the book ''The Road'' By Corman Mcarthy.

This film is a perfect example of Dystopia. 

I advice everyone to watch it!

The Image Below is the edited version.

   

 

This Image is also taken from ''The Road''.

Santiago Calatrava.

Santiago Calatrava was born in Valencia, Spain in 1951.
Graduated from the Institute of Architecture in Valencia and from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.
He opened his own architecture and engineering office in Zurich.
His early work was in Switzerland and Spain, where he exhibited his designs and won several awards.
As both an architect and an engineer, Calatrava easily identifies with both subjects.
He often creates innovative works that depend on a firm grasp of both the creative and structural aspects of design.
His skills let him create sculptural surfaces and unusual spaces.

I went into Oxford city center, i took photographs of interesting parts of walls, gates etc.
I looked at the texture, where some of the paint work or concrete has worn away.
I thought it would make an interesting photograph, things wearing away.

Oxford

BigIssue?

 I drew this while sat at Bond Square, Watching a homeless man sat in a door way next to scribblers,

he was singing ''your my sunshine only sunshine'' and it made me think its a twist of DYSTOPIA and UTOPIA, a sad homeless man singing such a happy and joyful song.
