Yves Klein






I'd post his Anthropometries work, but the use of seemingly only attractive females to create the art really irks me.

PHOTO-IDEA
play with context of images to challenge preconceived ideas of how to view art.

IDEA: photographs part of candy wrappings. (inspiration comes from Untitled (Portrait of Ross in LA) by Felix Gonzales-Torres) Evokes two senses, that of sight and of taste, and depending on the candy's familiarity to the "viewer", interrupt the associations one makes with the sweets.

IDEA: a narrative selectively, and incompletely, segmented into disparate frames. Challenges the idea that the Frame is the signifier of completion, a summariser; because there is always a story beyond the narrow view.
