Blog Prompt #23

1. In what ways do you “construct” your identity? In what ways do you “perform” in your daily life?

Trying to be someone I'm not in the way I dress and see myself. I sometimes put on an act so that people will like me. I dream everynight that I'm this outgoing not shy strong girl who doesn't take crap from nobody. 

2. Describe some ways in which your personal culture and social environments are “constructed”.

People telling us how we should act and who we should be. Saying we need to keep races separate and not interact it doesn't seem to be such a proplem now but it was back in the day.

3. Describe some ways in which your physical environment/space is “constructed”.

The way is which we set up our dorm rooms and houses. The way we build our cities with certain building in certain areas and people in certain places.

4. In your daily life, what would you consider to be “real” and what would you consider to be “constructed/fabricated”?

A sunset I consider to be real an a smile that happens while you laugh you just can't fake that. What I consider to be fabricated is love and governments also realtiy in general it all just seems so fake that none of it makes sense nor does it seem real.

5. Describe a narrative tableaux that you might create to be captured by a photograph. A narrative tableaux can be defined as “Several human actors play out scenes from everyday life, history, myth or the fantasy of the direction artist” ( Constructed Realities: The Art of Staged Photography Edited by Michael Kohler , 34).

Two swordsmen dueling one in traditional Samuri grab and the other is in a black leather jacket and blue jeans more of a modern feel they're are both tired looking breathing heavily. The Samuri has torn clothing with some blood and the leather jacket swordsman has cuts on his face, his pants and his left side bleeding alot but not flinching. They're in a stand off reading each other waiting to see who will make the first move.

6. Describe an idea for a photograph that includes a miniature stage or still life. A description of such an image is “The tableaux reconstructs events as in the narrative tableaux, but in miniaturized format, using dolls and other toy objects” (Kohler, 34).

Dogzilla attacks have a miniature city of legos with cars, people and the works then have my puppy Snickers walk through it. It will look like a monster is attacking a city like Godzilla did with Tokyo and New York.
