'The Book of Lies' was my first Foundation Studio workshop, with Rob. As a class, we created a slideshow that gradually changed from one photograph to another, placing statements in front. The photographs were of each student, including myself, in front of a green screen. Helping each other with the reflection materials, we made sure lighting and shadows were perfectly addressed, for Rob to take photographs and place them all into a slideshow that merged and overlapped student during the change over.
The second part to the slideshow once the photographs were took, was too fill out a form that asked for lies, facts and phrases that involved yourself, friends and family. I found it quite difficult to think of short sentences that would be appropriate, but in the end the form was filled and every students statements were anonymously posted along side the changing portraits on screen. It was an effective slideshow, humorous at times, but would also fall deep depending on the sentence placed in front of a face.
"I robbed a bank and got away with it"
"She loves him unconditionally"
"I hate him"
"Pandas are her favourite animal"
