When having a meeting with Alex Beldea to discuss the latest shoot for the project- alongside the rest of my work- he said that the work was well composed and successfully convey my current intentions with the project (which is to portray the relationship between the space at home and the memories that come with it).
However, to focus the project even further, he suggested to portray a sense of confusion or purposeless, in order to fit with the theme of how I am feeling currently in my life; this would contrast against the memories that come with the archive imagery. I suggested composing conceptual photographs to illustrate this, which would compare and complement the other imagery.
He also mentioned retaking some images of objects in the attic or focusing on certain aspects of the space around me; examples being a closer shot of the sleeping bag in the attic (perhaps obscuring the object in the process) and a close up or far away shot of the kitchen.
Another aspect to work on is to make links with objects in the archive images and objects in the attic, even to reference them by linking them with similar objects, so as to not make the work too obvious.
Speaking of books, Alex introduced me to George Georgiou Last Stop; though the subject matter is different from my project, the concertina book proved very interesting, by being able to make connections between the images by folding certain pages over.
