Exhibition Workshop/Mid-Review

The exhibition workshop with Magali Avezou was very helpful for developing ideas. It was useful to talk to someone about our project fresh, and work through ways to engage our audience more.
For example we:
- Displaying the work in different locations both inside and outside of Trinity, and getting people to move between each image in a kind of trail.
- Prints that will dissolve in the rain.
- Salt damaged negatives
- Looking into contemporary equivalents (such as migrant crisis, not having a memorial)
- Exploring the fact that there's no sea nearby
- Other people lost at sea (such as artist Ban Jas Ader)
- And damaged photographs (Such as Ricoh's 'Save the Memory' initiative after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in 2011)

Mid-review
My main feedback was to work on research. Since most of our groups work has so far been geared towards location and concept, we lack a lot of practical research into photographers, technique and presentation. However now our concept has been established we can start working on those areas in earnest.
As a group we decided on our next steps, with me doing more research into the history of Marie Thomas and experimenting with salt water on images. The others are all working on other aspects, such as getting the sweets for our fundraising pick and mix, researching printing materials, and testing other techniques.
