We separate our last blog into two parts, the first one we selected seven photos to represent the most impressed moment of that day.
Like the first day, we were very interested in human activities, so we picked the one that record everyone’s motion in Roosevelt Four Freedom Park. The second day, we selected the one we took at Pier 45’s skateboard playground. We are fascinate about how human activity could interact with a staged manmade landscape. The third day’s focus transferred from activity to view, we used a pure view photo without people’s interruption. This photo took from Gantry State Park, one theme for this park is about the trace of industry age. So from this image, we want to create a scenario that we use our sight to observe the metropolis through the heritage of industry age. The fourth day is open day, we went to MoMA, but unfortunately the garden was closed, so we could only see the garden through big curtain wall. Using this photo, we merged both human activity and landscape, although we could not get access to the garden, people still use their own way to get connection with the garden. There were people who standing near the window glaring at the garden, there were also people passing by just having a glimpse of the garden and so on. The next day, we chose to observe Brooklyn Bridge Park in a static way, the high skyscraper as background, they are standing still, but all the ships passing by and give the whole frame dynamic. The sixth day, we went to plant trees. We were having fun, so we are just presenting one moment of our working. Last day, we use the photo took from the roof garden of Metropolitan Museum as end. Through this image we want to claim that how close landscape to us and how intimate we could be with landscape. From the scope of the glass wall, it gives us a feeling that human activity and landscape’s relationship is like mirror, both of them could see and affect each other.

Except for photo gallery, in the end of our blog, we put a video. The first time you saw it may feel a little bit confusing, the sound and frame are not match. That’s our little design. In this video, we separated the sound and frames. We try to test what it will look like if we put a sound in a frame that is not the same scenario. We are curious to know what kind of effect it will create, maybe weird and unable to understand, but we hope that it’s novelty and miracle. Sound could remind people of activity and different from frame sound could give unlimited imagination to us. When we hear the sound of flowing water and the whisper of window passing by trees, a beauty scenario will appear in front of us. But when the image in your imagination is different from what you see with your eyes, how will you deal with it? We think it’s a very enjoyable shot. Hope you enjoy it too.
