The Department of Photography and Imaging at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts is pleased to announce Senior Thesis Exhibition Three, the third in a series of four exhibitions by the graduating class of 2006. This eclectic group comprises a range of ideas and techniques that create an involved and multifaceted experience, including 70 images of varying sizes, 2 video screens, over 200 polaroids and 5 large-scale 3D lenticular prints.
The exhibition includes:
Ife Abdus-Salam’s "American Exotic" examines the perspective of the Black female body in photography. Using both black and white and color photography Abdus-Salam re-creates photographs of Black Female icons while exploring notions of beauty and body image.
Atif Ateeq has been photographing Desi (South Asian) Communities in New York for the past five years. He is interested in community, religion and the relationship between his generation and their parents.
Brian Dodd uses polaroids, paper, and ink as an exhibitionistic diary of his mindset.
Kathryn Allen Hurni’s "through the glass, darkly" is a series of self portraits which investigates how personal perception intersects with, confuses, veils, or enhances the notion of reality.
Melissa Lucier explores the feelings of safety and helplessness associated with childhood through the use of photography and thread.
Adam Peters creates color images
that blur the line between photographs and studied compositions on
paper.
Dominique Clare Porter's "American Wood," explores the concepts of machismo in contemporary culture.
Dan Schwartzman’s "A Film By Dan Schwartzman" is an experimental film set on two interlaced screens, accompanied with photographs made directly from the actual 16mm film.
Margeaux Walter uses 3D lenticular prints to explore our future as a technologically dependent society.
