Having acquired a filing cabinet recently I was pleasantly surprised to come across a collection on slides from a relative who didn't need them any longer and gave them to me. They are a great nostalgic objects that feel great to play with. They also fit in with the 70s/80s theme of my images, and would further add to the degradation. The degradation idea relates to the idea of pretence; I am trying to link the theory through people copying certain aspects of other people and creating a monster of themselves in the process rather than being true to themselves, but I'm doing it in a light hearted manner.
So could slides work as a presentation tool for my work, I think so, even placing images into the slide casing looks interesting enough. Here are some images that I have prepared for the idea, the B/W faces stand out with much greater contrast than that of the coloured portraits. Due to time restraints I am going to cheat somewhat and print directly onto transparencies and skip the slide film.
