Final Project Idea

For my final project, I’d like to do five prints that center around images present in the poem “Letter home to Base Untranslatable” by Shira Erlichman. This poem deals with a lot of different topics, but, to me, its main focus is on capturing a sense of the issues of the modern world as we move further and further away from natural life. It deals with the absurdities of modern life and is a piece that has so many vivid images (which is why I chose it as the poem I wanted to base my final project on).
I have a lot of different ideas for the images I want to take (such as a stop sign, landscape, a clock, a 7-11 or Walmart, people being intimate in some sense etc.). I’ll decide which of the images from the poem to use based on what I think captures the poem best. When presenting, I want to have the focus of the project be on the computer screen playing Shira reading her poem. I plan string the pictures surrounding the computer. I don’t want to say too much more about it because I don’t want to give too much away, but I want to have my images be able to capture the message of the poem on their own, rather than be dependent on the poem to have meaning.
