Stephen Gill Experiments

For my Stephen Gill experiments I decided to take inspiration with his back of billboards photo's and I thought about instead of having billboards I thought about having the back of televisions and what there is behind them that we don't see like the wiring for example.

I decided to take pictures of the wiring behind the Television as no one really looks behind there or cares what there is behind.  Many people diminish the importance of these wires and don't exactly care about them, however I believe they have much more meaning.  For a start these wires contain the electricity to work the television, without them the circuit would not be complete.  Also the wires all have there own small groups of different colours and lengths which divides them all into little communities as if they were some sort of family or friends, they tangle each other just as people do when they hug or maybe fight.  I find this also links well with Stephens Gills work because of the thought and imagination how there is more to these wires than just copper and plastic.

I took another picture off the back of another Television thinking about what else I could do and how I could improve just the fact of having the back as a picture.

I then decided to have a picture with someone in (in this case me) where it was as if they were looking at the back of this television as if they were actually watching it normally which I found a very qwerky idea and one which I think that works very well.  I took more with me situated in different places.

In my opinion although these pictures are not the best quality and are quite dark I still find the use off inanimate objects such as the Television which can be used to watch programs, is used differently or a story is just added to it which no one really could have thought about.  I find this links in very well with Stephen Gill's work as there is a lot of imagination in these ideas.
