This is made e vident through our visual understanding and knowledge of distant places\, objects and people\, despite never experiencing them outside of a two-dim ensional representation. The Image Affect explores how our willingness to accept such imagery as an authentic way of perceiving the world has led to a breaking down of the boundaries between the real world and the repro duction of it\, between truth and fiction. Photographic imagery is genera lly taken at face value\, in that we do not tend to concern ourselves wit h wondering about the construction of the photograph or film.\n\nOur atten tion is focused upon what we see rather than what we don’t see\, the co mmon consensus being that which looks realistic is regarded as real. This can be considered as problematic in a generation full of technologically produced representations\, especially when those representations are cons idered as authentic\, and yet\, so easily manipulated and altered. With t he aim of questioning the reproducibility of the visible world through th e means of photography and film\, the work attempts to confront and there fore challenge our normal ways of seeing imagery by examining how we perc eive reality represented on a two-dimensional surface. The work takes the shape of a series of hand-made models that depict domestic interiors. Mo re specifically\, the interior of a fictional house that was purposely cr eated out of the crossing back and forth between the domains of two-\ndime nsional and three-dimensional space.\n\nThe presentation of the models thr ough both photography and film should play a key role in challenging the viewer’s interpretation of the image they see\, by offering two vastly different perspectives of the same model the work aims to highlight the fa lsity within two-dimensional representations. The photographs aim to mani pulate the boundaries between appearance and truth\; the viewer has to be willing to look more closely\, to question and to see the discrepancies within the scene. The moving image should work in the opposite way becomi ng a tool of interrogation and exploration\; every detail is exposed ulti mately revealing the true content of the imagery. The collaboration betwe en the moving image and the photographs should ask us to think again abou t the authenticity of what we see\, or at least what we think we see. To l ook beyond the realistic appearance and be mindful of the fact that all i magery is merely a construction\, vulnerable to a significant amount of p erceptual influence and manipulation.
