Diane Meyer

In her New Jersey series, she continues to explore some broader and universal themes such as history, memory and nostalgia but also embarks on a more personal journey into her past. It is a much more intimate body of work which touches upon the disconnection between the lived experience and that of its photographic representation through autobiographical references and snapshots from her childhood. For Diane Meyer, the visual language of pixilation highlights the artist’s concern with our culture of storing these photographic documentations of history and memory in a digital rather than a physical format. One could say that the artist is hinting at the demystification of the power and importance of the image to evoke an emotional response to memory and history when the image is stored digitally instead of printing it. i think this could be a continuation point from my project that i looked at people becoming invisible in the surrounding- FADING This could be NEW approach i could take.
