I really like the work we briefly saw in class by Cornelia Hediger. www.corneliahediger.com
I am intrigued by her work visually, the various portions of the whole along with a sense of disorientation. Also, because of her use of a double self-portrait. In the past few months I have felt extremely torn between what I should be doing (studying, reading, cooking, cleaning, etc.) and what I feel like doing (mostly sleeping). This persona project seems like a perfect platform to express these binal feelings. What I have come to realize is that re-creating her technique is more difficult than I expected. Below are a couple of my attempts. Don't really like any of them.
The image with you in it is the strongest of the three. I would suggest thinking of the narrative and use of props as symbols or metaphors. The gesture you carry in the image where you are sitting on the floor has emotion.
