FP!

As I was falling asleep last night, something hit me. Out of nowhere, some ideas just came to me in a rush all of a sudden. So I got up wrote them down on a piece of paper, as I didn't want to forget them in the morning. Needless to say when I looked at my writing in the morning, it was probably the messiest yet! I will tell you about these ideas later..
For a while now I have had these ideas for a destruction project, seeing as I wasn't getting much done last term, I thought I'd get the frustration out through my art. There were a few ideas I came up with; for example, environmental destruction, destruction of the human body, and emotional destruction. I thought about taking photos of derelict buildings, burning a few of my possessions, different ways of destroying photographs; (in destroying memories.) But my favourite destruction of the body. We destroy ourselves slowly with toxic sundstances and everyday things like food, and environment. I decided that it would be quite interesting to do a reverse photo-shoot, in that most of the women and men in these glamourous photo-shoots always looked perfect, no damage whatsoever, even if their lives are far from perfect. So, in that, I thought that I could do my own photo-shoot with the models with bruises on their eyes, messed up hair, smudged make-up, & far from perfect bodies. However, the idea I suddenly thought of last night was to incorporate healthy eating into it. Sounds a bit odd, but i thought if they look so damaged, i could have like a fun twist to it and kinda have a silent message saying, "Eat healthily and everything will be great." You know what health officials are like nowadays, they do my fucking head in shoving their philosphies down our throats, telling us how to live, what to eat, how much to exercise; because if not, you're gonna die before you turn 40! I looked at some of Tyler Shield's work and noticed that a lot of his photos have a lot of 'glamourous', but 'damaged' models. I thought that I could then do the opposite: replace this damage with an apple in their hand instead of smoking, replace the gun they are firing with a banana, replace the alcohol being poured into someone's mouth into a fruit smoothie. Basically making the 'Unglamorous' 'Glamourous'. Healthy is cool kids!
So yeh health officials, you're going to fucking love me.
