Description

Image of woman is similar to Gillian Wearing - signs
Radical change - Food changing state, boiling point of a kettle, chemical reactions, etc.
Focus on developing the radical change idea but also photographing other dreams
Look at my reoccurring dreams and approach them in different ways
Look at de ja vu
Look at previous dreams in my dream journal
Try to re appropriate images, e.g photoshopping teeth on the protesters
Bring in dream journal
Try to listen to sleep mediation dream videos whilst falling asleep and see how it makes my dreams more weird and visual
Look at lucid dreams
Save voice notes of myself explaining dreams instead of writing them down
Look at the connections of previous and recent dreams if they were the same dream, e.g. I have a memory of my friend when we were younger explaining her tooth dream - what does this mean?

This crit was extremely useful as I was a bit unsure of what to do next with my 'Radical change' idea because I can't just photograph any change it has to be radical and have a huge impact. I would never have thought of photographing food changing states which made me learn that in my next idea I really need to sit down and think about more conceptual ways to photograph my dreams. I will continue developing the 'Radical change' idea by going to another protest and I will look at food changing states and use photoshop to put teeth on the woman holding up the banner. I will also continue to record my dreams and photograph their meaning, to gather a range of ideas. I will listen to the lucid dreams and sleep meditation videos on Youtube so that I can hopefully have really weird and interesting dreams to potentially make my photographs more fascinating. This Crit was also useful as my peers suggested reoccurring dreams and it made me remember that when I was younger my friend was telling me about her teeth dream in which she was pulling out her teeth. I found this connection interesting and then discovered that teeth dreams are common dreams and I could potentially explore the connections in reoccurring dreams and common dreams amongst others. I have not yet looked at artists and photographers so I will research some this week. Therefore, to manage my time correctly I will plan the days of when I will photograph, research and listen to sleep meditation videos.
