We had an interesting lecture on 8th February discussing the various, intricate ways one can display their work on the wall. With the wall 'in play' as it were, it gives a whole new meaning to if the photo was on a computer screen or on a website. It is physical, we can go up close to it and examine it corner to corner. For my personal project, I don't really want to experiment with hanging techniques as my photos are all taken within classical buildings, I feel it is right to continue this through my work and create stunning prints that are of a huge scale (A1 or bigger). The wall is just half the battle, because how one prints their work is also very important. I will more than likely print my images on Lustre paper as it has been my go-to paper since the beginning of my time at University and it has never let me down. The halfway between matte and gloss is very nice, however all things considered I may look to move into Museum standard paper, as these buildings reflect a similar atmosphere.
In terms of the prints themselves, I will look to do them full bleed without a border. I feel that a border stops the viewer from going any further and for this work, I want the viewer to see everything, therefore having no border on my prints. I wouldn't look to do a vinyl as it is a one-shot deal. I would much prefer my images to be displayed more than once.
The debate of framing is still there. At this moment in time, I am not sure if I want my work framed or not. Looking at research from professionals such as John Jones, the idea of DiBond and then potentially fixing a baton to the back of the image and then one to the wall and then having them float is interesting to me. I feel this may be the route I end up going down, obviously the main concern for this cost.
