Authorship/Interpretation

FEB '16 - JUN '16
Mixed Media / Conceptual Art
CONCEPT
A set of commissioned and curated pieces, finally bound into separate booklets as well as combined into thought-provoking (but completely incidental) narratives. The scope of the project was to highlight the notions of authorship and interpretation, the latter of which differs so much from one person to the other.

Each participant was given a set of images (identical for each participant) and a set of transfer sheets, and asked to use the transfer sheets to create an intervention within the image that expresses their thoughts on seeing it.
RESULT
The final images were cut and combined into hand-sown booklets. Although each booklet displayed the images in the original order, each provided a different narrative thanks to the creative interventions made by the participants, using the transfer sheets.
RESULT (2)
The varying results of identical images were also combined to create a surprising and (often) ironic narrative, once again shedding light on the notion of authorship.
