Reminiscence
The aim of this dissertation was to create a series of photographs presenting a fictional, utopistic world. This introduction is not intended to be thorough, only to point out how perfection is aspired for in this world; this is achieved by presenting rites, using everyday objects, tools and traditions from the real, present world. A key element was to give the illusion of a sterile, simplified, perfect world through the strategic use of colour, composition, and representations; this imagined society’s rites and ideas of life and the world, however, are indeed very traditional and evoke ancient myths and world views.
