My tableau vivant.
My initial idea for the scene was to create an ominous looking bedroom. In this bedroom on the desk there will be a computer screen emitting blue lowkey light, This will be the only light source in the room. To make this scene more interesting I had the idea of presenting the new technology of the room such as the computer, Assorted gaming consoles and other things that have nice LED lights on top of the desk and around it to make them look lie they are in use. To contrast this all my old gaming consoles and laptops will be placed under the bed, their light will on also.

Uncanny art.
Research into Uncanny art has lead me to the artist Helen Pynor, her Liquid ground photo exhibition stood to me to because of her use of clothing, which is very important to most people in the world. Her choice to take these photos under water gives the garments a sense of movement even though they are inanimate objects. The element of this type of art which I find most effective is her including certain organs to the clothes. This to me symbolizes death and post-mortem. We can see she was heavily inspired by drown victims.
