Postmodernism Finish Project
Quote: "The
great person is ahead of their time, the smart make something out of it, and
the blockhead, sets themselves against it."
When looking at my finished Postmodernism project, the denotative aspect of this piece is a picture of different size clocks building off of each other in an outward movement. The times on the clocks are all different. On top of the clocks are images of men either reading, running, changing the time of the clocks or standing around looking confused. Albert Einstein is even on top of one of the clocks. After printing the photoshop image, gluing it on the Bristol pad and expanding on the photo, I continued creating the clocks that were cut off the image and also added circles or bubbles around the clocks. These circles/bubbles look the same as the clocks in that they are different sizes and in the color black; however, they do not have ant numbers or time on them, they are just plain. The background is a faded/streak pink color that matches the color scheme of the images.
The connotative and idealogical ideas of this photo relate to the quote I chose listed above. When thinking of the connotative aspect of the piece, it makes me tired due to the pink color chosen for the background and the fact that the clocks and circles/bubbles that I drew on the Bristol pad look like they are melting in a way. When looking at the men in the photo, I feel like I am in a rush because the men are either in a running position or changing the time of the clocks, representing that they are trying to get ahead of time or racing against time. In terms of the idealogical aspect of the piece, it relates to the world in that people may feel that they are racing against time or that they are living in the moment. As previously stated, some men are running, representing getting ahead of time. I feel like this relates to the world in that people are always trying to get ahead of their work or ahead of time to get things done. People who do this are often successful because they get things done before time is up. When looking at the men reading on top of the clocks and even Albert Einstein, it represents to society that they are making something out of time by improving their learning. They work with time to gain understanding and to get something out of it. Finally when looking at the men who look blockheaded and have no understanding of what is going on, it relates to the world in that those who aren't taking advantage of time are setting themselves against it. I feel like this can relate to many people in society because people often feel that they don't have enough time in a day and are racing against the clock to get something done.
