After Rachel's very informative comment yesterday i now understand more what Denis Darzacq is trying to communicate in his works. The low saturation of the image, the placement of the people in front of such blank, urban spaces is a comment on the migrant population in France and the way in which the second generation of migrants has become even more displaced. They cannot return to their 'homeland' but they cannot call their new country home...
I think the works a very resonant with this feeling of displacement once this idea is unlocked to the viewer...
My work is approaching a similar idea but from a very different perspective. I am aiming to create an ambiguity in the mind of the viewer. Something that will force the viewer to question what it is that they are seeing. My ideas need more refining in this way but below are another group of test shots....and ideas to pursue...
