Oral Presentation

Final version of my presentation.

I have considered the development of my project over the course of the module and critically discussed production methodologies and presentation strategies in relation to this. Whilst it makes sense to separate methodology and presentation pedagogically, in practice they are closely related and this makes structuring the presentation tricky. I have also considered a selection of relevant work by other photographers, and how, in terms of methodology and presentation strategies, this relates to my own. Keeping within the time limit, as always, means heavy editing is necessary. Rather than attempt to be comprehensive in discussion of my project, and other work, I have selected examples from the work. Hopefully, there is enough background material in my CRJ to make it comprehensible.

‘It makes no sense to ask what entropy ‘is’, as though it was possible to find in this protean signifier a transcendent signification. Instead we must ask what it meant to whom, for what reasons, in what context, and with what consequences.’

‘Most London business occurred in plain view. Chaucer’s London is a very public city, a place where people mingle together in crowded thoroughfare’s, where they post and publish their inner thoughts and broadcast them aloud, where different forms of street theater flourish, and where public presentation of the self far overwhelms any gestures toward privacy or inwardness. Whether in small lanes and byways, or in processional and ceremonial places like Cheap, in places of assembly like St Paul’s Cross or in taverns and bakeshops, Londoners rub elbows with one another. More to the present point, they socialize’
