Rudolf Bonvie: Photography and Stop Motion Response

This response has become my favourite due to its simplicity and story telling. I took inspiration from Bonvie's 1973 work Dialog and created 42 photographs of my parents hands gradually taking off their wedding rings. The end result is both saddening and beautiful. As the images looked like a stop motion film I decided to place them together in a video, my first idea was for a GIF but unfortunately the amount of pictures I had overloaded the GIF generator.

Igor Savchenko: Photography Responses

As Igor Savchenko's work takes on a retrospective feel, I created a series of Photoshop manipulated images to echo his anonymous photographs of his collection Faceless.

To remove the faces and to create the lines I used my graphics tablet.

I also created a response to Savchenko's series named Alphabet of Gestures. In that series he focused entirely on the hands and body language of his subjects, taking away their faces and identity in a similar way to his Faceless collection, however this series reduces people down to anatomy rather than human beings.
