Imaging Labs: Case Study Research on Experimental Photography and its Photographers

This case study and research will be on experimental photographer of different times, and apply on ideation on how to apply this on our project on Noise Pollution at night among neighbourhood. This is a school related project. 
Artist: John Klang
His photography are a mix of contemporary and traditional. He takes photo of a specific location at different timing and different crowd. While the background and location may be same, he use bits and parts of different photos to be plastered and overlapped above on another. Thus creating a variety mix of faces along the road, show casing the different people on this road at different times. I feel this art style could be applied in our campaign project. 

By using this same style in the Queenstown (Stirling view and Meiling Road) neighbourhood, specifically the public areas like Block 169's Coffee Shop and the playing court, it could show the neighbourhood everyday's life and the noises, with different age group, from elderly, to kids, to adults. This conveys the message that the people share the public area together and they need to be considerate and tolerant to one another.
 Below is another work by John Clang, using the same idea, but this time its a plain white background and using different people's portrait shots. By using different parts of people's portraits piece together and overlapped.

By using this same style on the Queenstown (Stirling view and Meiling Road) neighbourhood, it could show the neighbourhood's resident of different age, race and gender, etc. Relating to our insight, "People are clueless to their neighbour's situation. They don't make an effort to interact with one another to understand and solve the situation. Therefore, they tolerate it and keep it all in, even though they dislike the noise".

Everyone has different demographic and psychographic. We must learn to tolerate and towards our neighbours. 
But before we just simply tolerate others, we must first understand others' action and reasoning. 
What may seem like your neighbours are inconsiderate people who create noise that may disturb you, they may have a deeper reason on why they are doing this and understand from their point of view. To them it may not be a noise, but to you it may be a noise. Everyone's tolerance is different.
Below is another work by John Clang. Similar concept of using one photo and overlapping with another photo, this time he used a modern coloured photograph, portrait of a women, and its face is overlapped by a unrealistic drawing on paper. Using this idea and relating to our project's insights, we can use the modern coloured photograph of the resident doing something normal in their daily lives, which to them may be not a noise. But, its overlapped by the same action but exaggerated in a way, to show it may be a noise or annoyance to others. Thus this conveys the message that everyone have different tolerance and acceptance of noise, what may seem like normal to you may be a annoyance to others.
