Barbara Kruger.
January 9, 2010
As part of a photography module this semester we had to create photographs in the style of Barbara Kruger. It was a group project and I worked with Leah Batchelor to create this photograph series based around chairs. We had a lot of fun creating these, as it is quite difficult to create something that is so restrictive. Although her style is quite unique, harsh black and white photographs with high contrast, with red stripes, containing Futura Bold type. Let us know what you think of our work and check out Leah’s page, she has a lot of her own beautiful work on it.

Have you experimented with your own photography? Maybe you could approach it from a contemporary angle, her work was innovative and very controversial for its time, how can that translate to our society, what would she do now? She broke so many barriers for females in not only the design industry but also the creative industry.
