369 Words2 Pages

The still images taken by Nathaniel Oliver a fellow Grand Valley State University alumni are interesting in there own specific ways but there are three photos that truly stand out from the rest. The three images that I believe are unique from the rest are images 7, 14, and 18. Image 7, which depicts a girl blocking some sort of black substance with her hand in front of her face is very interesting to me and seems to have a lot of internal meaning to it. When I look at the photo there seems to be a strong tone which to me is representing awakening or seeing the light.

We are unable to see the face of the woman, which gives this portrait a feeling of a lack of communication among the people just as the previous works of art that I have discussed.

    The images are not explained. At one point the narrator overhears a man speaking about Claire Denis' film Beau Travail. The reference to this film about the bodies of legionnaires, men from the former French colonies is rich with associations, but Rankine does not follow up on any of them. Instead she later notes that Claire Denis had wanted to be a nurse when she was a child, but "she is no longer a child. Years have passed and so soon we love this world, so soon we are willing to coexist with dust in our eyes"(p. 155).

  • Photographic Images And Identity Essay

    Throughout history, photographs have been known to depict and represent culture, character, information, and ideology. Through specific elements of form, and close scrutiny, photographs give a representation of the “bigger picture” by providing content and invaluable information that text, on its own, does not produce. Dr. Carol Payne, a professor of art history at Carleton University, wrote an essay in 2012 for the Oxford University Press. This essay focused on the relationships between photographic images, Canadian culture and identity, and indigenous people. Her thesis was to discuss how an image can present a sense of national identity (Carol Payne 310).

  • Blade Runner Photograph Essay

    A photograph can mean so much to different people, but it’s ultimate purpose is to capture an important moment in someone’s life and be able to hold onto a physical copy of a memory. Photographs enact a certain nostalgia for the past, the good times or perhaps an important person or location; it’s a memory you want to last indefinitely. It’s a subject many people don’t touch on when they examine a film like Blade Runner (1982), but director Ridley Scott’s film does place an emphasis on the importance of photographs and what they can mean to people. The film depicts photos as a gateway to nostalgia, the immortalization of important figures and how photographs can deceive their owners. When you hold onto a photography they are generally a preserved version of a past memory that is important or a time of happiness.
