field trip

I was most moved by the Marianne Mueller photo exhibit. I thought it was really cool how the exhibit was in the same gallery as the portraits of homes framed next to a fake fire. That was one artist's portrayal of home, juxtaposed with Marianne Mueller's notion of home. She showed the human body as a home, as opposed to a physical structure. The way she used space and movement in her compositions made the picture come off the page for me. Her use of nudity and bare forms of the body show how home is not defined by material objects. She also turned some of the pictures on their sides and had a variety of sizes to make the pictures aesthetically pleasing. She also had pictures that were of the body and then a picture next to it with a similar shape (see below). I thought that was really cool to show how nature imitates the body and the body imitates nature. I was just really intrigued by her pieces and could really relate to her notion of home.
