Interim Review References 09 - Representing Internal Space

Brian is working on how buildings are represented, and the translation of three-dimensional space into two dimensional image..

Gordon Matta-Clark  and his work was mentioned, plus the series 'The Places People Live' by Jonas Bendiksen.

Rene Burri's images of Le Corbusier's work also provide an approach to representing inhabited space.

Interim Review References 08 - Work Spaces

Su is looking at workspaces, and the dynamics behind how people space and arrange themselves in public. Examining the work of Edward T Hall and his theory of proxemics through the work of Garry Winogrand, he's begun looking at how camera can expose or fabricate spatial relations between people, those around them and their environment.

Garry Winogrand - From Arrivals and Departures

- Massimo Vitali's photographs of people at leisure in public spaces also explores this subject.

Picnic Alle - Massimo Vitali

Piombino Jump - Massimo Vitali

Interim Review References 06 - Representation of the Man-Altered Landscape

There were a few references in relation to Luke's project - which touches on how man affects the landscape, and how this is portrayed.

- Bill Owens series 'Suburbia'

Untitled, from the series 'Suburbia', 1972

-Ed Ruscha's series '34 parking lots in Los Angeles' 

- From the discussion, a study into Ansel Adams & Robert Adams with an emphasis on continuities rather than contradictions in their bodies of work might prove the most interesting direction to go in.

Interim Review References 05- Paul Graham

Paul Graham's images from the series 'Beyond Caring' were mentioned in relation to Stefan's project.
They were taken with a hidden camera in dole offices in 80s England and are similar to Evans' subway images in catching the subjects unguarded, unaware and within a specific built environment.

Interim Review References 04 - Oliver Boberg

Oliver Boberg was mentioned in relation to Sarah's project.
His work touches on similar themes of the image, illusion & space as Carl Zimmerman, who had been the main point of reference in the project.

Interim Review References 02 - Helen Levitt

Exploring Helen Levitt's later work in colour in relation to her earlier work in black and white on the streets of New York may be a good direction for John's project. She captures the city as habitat, its stoops, streets and steps appropriated with a domestic and familiar ease by its inhabitants.
