On the Edge
On the Edge was assignment for Winter Semester for Studio of Classical Photography. Subject was quite blurred and could be presented in different interpretations. A geographical sense, referring to the periphery of a city or town, to the outskirts, or to a border between two different areas. It could be possible to interpret it psychologically as well as existentially as the edge of spiritual or physical limits of an individual, or as a state of mind on the edge of a mental breakdown. Another way to understand it could be from a social and anthropological point of view, focusing on people and subcultures at the margin of society, on life’s edge or on the verge of extinction. I decided to do a physical experiment, based on the different densities of different liquids. What should be if mix oil and water? Water has a higher density than the oil and during the mixing oil as quickly as possible tries to separate from the water, forming small balls or bubbles. And soon we can see that the oil is completely separated from the water, and rose up, forming on the surface of a single layer. As soon as the formed two different layers, I added a few drops of ink. Through the oil ink going slowly with drops and once they reach the water burst forming different patterns. All whole process was documented and presented as a series of photos, on which can be seen the process from mixing oil and water and finishing with ink drawings.
