I have has a skim through all of the readings and am realising these are in relation specifically to exhibitions that you need to research in themselves.
Images I am starting to look at -
Consumerism - Ethics
Colors Magazine - I did analyse this magazine for the previous essay assignment, I feel like this would be a great topic to analyse looking at different magazines and different topics together as a series.
Quotes this relates to -
"We are surrounded today, everywhere, all the time, by arrays of multiple, simultaneous images - in the streets; at airports, shopping centres, and gyms; but also our computers and television sets...all of us [are] living in this new kind space, the space of information." (Beatriz Colomina)
"Individual experience has become an experience of the people due to the camera" (Joseph Goebbels cited in Jorge Ribalta)
Identity - Collective Belonging
WWII Propaganda Posters - http://www.nationalww2museum.org/learn/education/for-students/ww2-history/at-a-glance/propaganda-posters.html http://www.nww2m.com/category/education/
These would be interesting to research into for the use in an exhibition type format to write about for my visual essay.

"We are surrounded today, everywhere, all the time, by
arrays of multiple, simultaneous images - in the streets;
at airports, shopping centres, and gyms; but also our
computers and television sets...all of us [are] living in

Colomina)
Focusing on New Zealand - Marti Friedlander photographs - Looking at the ideas of the 'typical kiwi' the history of New Zealand and the placement of what New Zealand 'is'
Quote this relates to -
"Cameras define reality in the two ways essential to the
workings of an advanced industrial society: as a
spectacle (for masses) and as an object of surveillance
(for rulers)." (Susan Sontag)
Ethics - Environment
What if I did an event close to me personally which would be interesting to talk about and discuss - would this work with the brief? (Pahiatua Polish Children) - as an exhibition?
Quotes this relates to? - I am unsure these images are appropriate -
"Cameras define reality in the two ways essential to the
workings of an advanced industrial society: as a
spectacle (for masses) and as an object of surveillance
(for rulers)." (Susan Sontag)
