''The Film Mosaic Project mimics the way I observe everything everyday, seeing segments of the big picture to understand the whole."
Shane Rozario
Rozario is a finalist of the 2009 ACMP Projections competition. In his series The Film Mosaic he documents musicians. He uses photography as a medium to visually communicate the way he sees the world, 'in segments of the big picture to understand the whole.' (Rozario 2009)
What is interesting and in my opinion effective, is displaying his work in 'segments' and then as a 'whole' beneath it, so that the viewer can draw a connection between the two alternatives. I don't think I will display the 'whole' in my work, because I want the segments to become a 'whole' when they are viewed together, and I think I am aiming for a more ambiguous approach. However I do love Rozario's work, I love that it's on film and I think what makes his work stronger is that he related this quote (whether he knew it was a quote or not) to himself and his own perception in terms of the way he sees the world. I feel a connection with his work based on personal similarities in terms of perceiving.
Click on the link below to see the flash clip of his work, along with the other 5 finalists - I love the way they have made a multimedia presentation for each photographer and that you can hear them talk about themselves and their work before hand. Really grounds the work and makes you want to go and see the exhibition!
