Anders Birger.
ANDERS BIRGER.
This dam weather.
Anders Birger documents political issues of the Syrian Civil War, which demonstrates the ongoing conflict.
From his work I feel that I have learnt the magnitude of fear that people experience due to their own government. Birger also records quotes issued from twitter conversations and facebook by the Syrian nationals that accompanies his photography, which I feel increases the impact this has on the viewer as it allows you to be exposed tot he reality of the Syrian Uprising.
This message is communicated through imagery and text which support each other, which I feel, when I first saw this piece, has a great impact due to its reality and gives the viewer an insight to the intensity of fear that the people are experiencing.
Henry Dixon.
HENRY DIXON.
Henry Dixon documents buildings threatened by demolition where he uses historical issues to communicate his message removing the old for the new.
Dixon recorded the Holborn Valley Improvements which was one of the largest buildings projects in London.
From looking at Dixon's photography I have learnt about the history of demolition in Mid-Victorian London and about the heritage on the verge of destruction as London was re-invented. Therefore, I feel that his photography allows for political affairs to teach us the progress of government state and ideas they had for London within that period.
I feel that the use of his prints allows for the colour to also support his message as it braces the typical perception of London smog, busy streets and the impurity.
