PROJECTION 1
UNIT 3 : WEEK 1-2
Line of Enquiry: Can we develop methods to perceive objects more subjectively, truly engaging with them as active participants?
I started exploring how media can guide my work .
I began experimenting with different forms of image-making—such as collage, photo manipulation, and pattern design. I also explored personal photo archives from childhood, focusing on objects and memories that carry emotional weight. These included things like childhood room, toys, clothes, family members, favourite foods, books. By working with them visually, I was able to research how emotional experiences can be communicated without relying on language.

The work of Katja Liebmann – dust in the wind; records the energy, isolation and alienation of urban life whilst maintaining a reflective, dreamlike quality; for her it simply presents the best means to portray the ephemerality of time and existence.
