3.0Photographer Assistant

This is 10:37pm; I'm going to be a photographer assistant to help my friend do one of his experimental artwork. The whole project is about the "Temptation of Fire". This setup is for one of his images from the project talking about the moment to burn until things turn into ashes. Using multiple exposure to capture different moment instead of combining different images in Photoshop. In these photos, you can see the same person in a photo. It is because, we took that photo in multiple exposure, then use a black card to cover the lens when the person changing his position.

Since this is the first time using multiple exposure with fire, it did not come out like what we went at the first try. My friend chooses other photos to finish his project. However, I think these two photos look great. After we done and clean up the setup, it is already 12:30am. Tired but contented : )

The Lovers by Rene Magritte is painted by oil in 1928. Rene Magritte was one of the major figures of Surrealism and perhaps the greatest Belgian artist of the 20th century. In this painting, we can defined it is a Surrealism painting by the humorous effect and the special performance technique. When you look at this painting, you will ask yourself what this painting means, why do the lovers covered their face and kiss? As you see, there’re two figures in the middle of the room, the background is kind of dark. You can feel something from it.

I choose this painting because when I first look at it. The two figures come though my eyes and I can’t stop thinking of what it means. I want to find the meaning of this painting. When Magritte was fourteen, his mother died by drowning herself in the river. When his mother was found, her dress was covering her face. People said this event affect Magritte’s artwork. However, Magritte said “My painting is visible images which conceal nothing… they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my picture, one ask oneself this simple question ‘What does that mean?’ It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.”

Are we really thinking too much? How do you think about it? Do you think it just made for art, or does it have a meaning behind it?
