week 10 - how text can influence emotions and change the context of an image

Barbara Kruger creates photo montage and uses text to give the images more meaning.



The text in the images is quite clear most of the time however the word “not” in the following picture is quite small and completely separate in the following image, this makes the viewer question their behaviour and actions.




Duane Michals uses a storyline along with a photograph, this provides the context of the photo and makes the viewer look twice at the image portrayed and think about what is happening in the photograph.





The story is handwritten which makes it seem more personal. It also provides the images more emotion and feeling
