Postmoderism

Postmodernism

Postmodernism started in the 1950's. It re-uses something to create new meaning. It is criticism of modernism. It uses framing to create an idea of a second screen. Postmodernism ignores the rules. Post modernism is characterised by self-conscious and deliberate intertextuality .  Post modernism is generally something that has been done before 

Intertextuality- When one text references another

Recreation

My recreation was inspired by Jamie Reid's art, because he adds external cartoon and text to create a larger meaning to the photograph. I chose this image of the builders because their body language towards the centre worker looks like they're talking about him behind his back.  I thought I'd make the centre builder be singled out because he is also in the foreground. 

To do this I took the photo at shutter speed 1/80 and the exposure was F7. I then imported it to photoshop. To create the cartoon I used the magnetic lasso tool to outline the item of clothing; after this I used the eyedropper tool to retrieve the main block colour of the item of clothing. To complete the proses I then filled the outlined section with the blocked colour. To me this photo connotes betrayal because it shows verbally singling someone out in a visual form. The photograph denotes three builders and one of witch appears on the foreground.
