Theory 4A: Series and Sequence Response

This reading made me think about the reasons an artist would want to work in a series. The organization and comparison that a series allows for can create work within a whole new context. The Bechers are well known for their architectural structures that they categorize by building type and purpose and display within a grid of similar images. Annette Messager has done series of images of individual body parts. Her arrangement of the images into one shape with the photographs overlapping creates a very overwhelming piece. I have been getting much more interested in working in a series lately. I have realized that it allows for more exploration into one subject or style of photography and can create a very powerful presentation.
