I went to my tutorial on 13th Oct, and it was incredibly helpful. I went in to discuss my installation ideas mostly, but to also ask about how to approach my photography work.
Before my tutorial, i wrote a list of things I wanted to mention -
"Installation - ideas & development.
Photography - How I progress.
Short film - the struggle
Plus other potential ideas."
Kathleen liked my idea of following depersonalisation, because it's not only associated with anxiety, and it has been explored in art quite a bit. She gave me more ideas on how to approach the idea, which helped me and generally just talking about my ideas in tutorials helps me a lot because I gain confidence in the idea.
She also helped in terms of photography, since my photos aren't going to be as planned out as my film projects. She suggested I look at it through types & concepts of photography I like, an evaluation of what i've done before, and to look up on ethics of photography as I plan to do street/candid photography.
I wrote lots of notes down in my book, and I will copy them on to here (even if they don't make full sense!)
