Diptych Concept
Freddie
What is the overall concept for the Diptych? What are you trying to convey?
The overall concept is to display cultural impacts and conflicts between the old colonies, traditional Shanghai-style elements and new capitalism.
For the Diptych project, one cannot exist without the other. i.e. The existence of both images complete the project. One is only a partial information. What kind of conversation do the two images create and assist each other to convey the concept together?
A bicycle is considered the main connection between the two photos. I’m thinking of showing many bicycles inside a store and one bicycle outside the street and it is ridden out in the city and experiencing the main impacts and conflicts. Also, the conflicts and harmony will also be connected between two pictures but in different forms.
What image(s) do you plan to take photos of?
I would like to shoot different types of architecture and stores alongside the roads of Middle Huaihai Road and its branches.
How do you plan to manipulate the image(s) using Photoshop?
I plan to repeat and make tight structures between those architecture, between or in them I decide to insert fresh, modern elements or interesting cultural people or objects.
