Grand Masters - Rachel Reupke

Rachel Reupke focuses on the stock image - her films mocking the constant use of these commercial images that in no way represent reality. Her videos are ultimately staged and leave the viewer feeling empty and completely unconnected to the film. However, the images are so familiar that you find yourself realising that you are exposed to these empty meaningless images everyday whithout questioning them.


10 Seconds or Greater

These films have made me interested in using the media of film to reconstruct grand masters - and also made me think about encorporating stock image as well as poor image. I want to express the original artworks in a way that is as true to modern day society as possible. By combining these over used images and ways of recording I think this would create a bizarre effect combined with a unique, meaningful  original piece of art.
