been thinking about ideas of how to collaborate and been talking with my partner chris about a variety of things.ive been interested in miniature paintings a bit and ive been reading an orhan pamuk book which amongst other things has an underlying narrative which revolves around miniature painters of istanbul. after some research, i found it interesting how the indian tradition of miniature paintings can depict a vareity of images and narratives all within one image, and not much attention is paid to classical perspective in the image.
me and chris have been discussing how the world too has become a very small place now and ones culture and influences are not so geography specific anymore. we realised that even though we live continents apart, there were a lot of things that we shared in terms of movies, things we liked etc.
this idea of geography and landscapes seemed interesting and we are planning to try out creating some kind of landscapes where we send each other images and work on them, add to them, subtract from them to create a fictional sort of landscape from both of our memories.
we tried a first round of this today, just to see what might happen. nothing exceptional came out of it yet, but it was a fun experience, and i think after a few rounds, we can arrive at an aesthetic and move towards defining certain themes for these rounds of exchanges.
more updates soon.
(also, chris wasnt keen on adding images from his side today, he added effects and colour corrections, maybe with a few more exchanges images will start turning up from his side as well, and strange landscapes will start to emerge. )
it was a fun exercise nonetheless!
