Senior Thesis: The Kuleshov Effect in Portraiture
Since I have always been interested in narrative, storytelling, and portraiture, I combined these ideas into this interactive installation created for my BFA Thesis. Each photo is wheat-pasted onto 9x12'' sheets of masonite with two laser-cut holes which allow the viewer to become a participant. Throughout the installation showing, the sequence of the photos varied depending on the whims of the viewer.
Role: Design, Art Direction
The Kuleshov Effect is a film editing effect invented by Soviet filmmaker, Lev Kuleshov. It is a mental phenomenon where the audience derives more meaning from the interaction of two back-to-back shots than from one shot in isolation.
