29/01/2013 Minutes Meeting With Ulrich, Jonathan, Sally and Barbara

We met Barbara and saw both of her collections. One complete and the other are prototypes. Interested in contrasting Julia Margaret Cameron with Blade Runner Is the narrative necessary? Probably not, try to have a concept with no beginning and ending. We could experiment with using the two designers garments together. With a warm grey colour scheme. Barbara's collection is all about alternative and experimental photographic techniques. Combining digital and analogue. Using alternative-processing techniques for example: contact printing from a digital negative. We dont really want too much postproduction, to have most of the set up in the studio. With Barbaras complete collection, the textiles were printed from images. We could project those and even turn them black and white. To look at early historic photographic references such as Felix Nadar and Margaret Cameron. Talked about characterization. Who are we photographing? Where are we? A battle between historical and contemporary. Maybe including two models or to give a transitional makeover to one model. Accentuate the hood, unconventional model, not the pretty type. Looking at Plexiglas, molded to reflect light and distort, a portal.
