After Party of Oneby *NGraingerPhoto

Photography / Conceptual

I'm quite enthusiastic about my 'Party of One' ideas, I've got some volunteers to do some serious ones of these, this one was just a mess around and I'm not as happy with it as I am the first.

Any constructive ideas would be a great help with this guys.

Models: Me, Me and err... Me

(And yes this is what you think it is O.o)

i most certainly suspect that THIS particularly edgy, wonderfully risqué, illicit tryst between and among the trinity party of one would undoubtedly send Freud immediately out to seek for professional help. Just who has caught who doing just what kind of an act to who by who here. The Klein bottle contortions and connotations of the potential symbolism in the scenario may be more than we could, would or should be able to know.

HAHA! Finally some intelligent artistic debate! There are a million connotations that could be derived from these pictures, I feel a little tyrannical for evoking such befuddlement on so many people

It's funny you thought of Freud, I would imagine that perhaps this could be a visual metaphor for the Id regaining control over the Superego before being disrupted by that pesky Ego. Or is it a gross backfire in psycho-sexual development? An inner conflict likened to that of Narcissus and Echo? Is it a visual representation of one's attitudes about masturbation? A notion of being most comfortable in one's own company? Segments of a conscious/unconscious? A cognitive representation as a result of being lonely?

The first one I made is a very literal representation of my inspiration for all of these; I sat eating my breakfast one morning and wondered what it would be like if there were more of me, what must I be like from the perspective others and what I would do if there were more of me. Would I sleep with myself? Yes I probably would haha! Why? To see what it would be like I guess. There is a deeper question though, if we could have ourselves, free from the pressures of normal relationships, of embarrassment and the odd inevitable impasse, would we? Could we just confine ourselves?

Pure ambrosia for heaven. When foundations this fantastic underlie the already compelling art, well, how much greater can life get. You are a very dangerous Woman, you ask the kind of questions that turn over the societal apple cart, and then you pick the best of the cargo and take a bite out of it as you walk away without paying for it. The authorities and conventions are always dispelled by this affront of free thinking

The rules always seem to be made by those who could not stand the thought of sleeping with themselves, so why the hell allow those who do the opportunity!

You seem to have just as much to say for yourself, which you'll agree is great! Art is often the only way to put your mind into something objective, and there's an awful lot that can happen in there, so freedom is worth it's weight in gold. Everyone needs to overturn a few apple carts in their time! And I love learning from people who see things from a separate angle, it's what makes the world interesting

Well i am not so sure that you do not see the art from a whole separate angle yourself as you are creating these amazing ambrosias for the mind. i look at the scenes themselves, these "parties of one" which you have been throwing of late, and there is no raucousness in the least on the surface, but you cannot help get the impression that the lady is completely busting up the joint under the surface. i read your words about self introspection, self realization, self reliance, self admission and how you had it all in mind in making throwing the first party of one. i look at the Lass' expression as she eats her cereal and not so approvingly looks at herself tasting a breakfast with a little more spice and flavorful fruit on the other end of the sofa, while she also appears to ignore the entire affair, no pun intended, fiddling absently with her own phone. The particular expressions, mannerism, poses and all around aura that you introduce in these solitary soirees of yours are very, very intricately complex when they are set beside your thoughts and once more examined. i LIKE IT!

I never expected anyone to pay as much attention as you have, I just want you know how much I appreciate your thoughts on my work, in a few weeks I'll going to interviews at universities to study Photography and recognition like you have given me gives me a lot of confidence for these thank you so much
