title : Juxtaposition
Definition: Simply stated, juxtaposition means placing things side-by-side. In art this usually is done with the intention of bringing out a specific quality or creating an effect, particularly when two contrasting or opposing elements are used. The viewer's attention is drawn to the similarities or differences between the elements.
Reference:http://drawsketch.about.com/od/drawingglossary/g/juxtaposition.htm My own interpretation: Two objects that are different placing next to each other to show contrast and a obvious comparison can be seen at the same time. By juxtaposing two diverse objects or words next to each other, human brain will automatically relate or transfer meaning. Usually ‘turning’ something familiar to something less familiar or vice-versa. Application of juxtaposition can be seen in many forms such as literature, paintings, photography,music ,film and etc. A poem that describe juxtaposition: JUXTAPOSITION They say, between black and white there is gray in choices perhaps brown or mulatto or mestizo in people They say, two wrongs can make a right that atrocity must be answered with another They say, when the ears hear them clearly, that the soul is caught between two worlds eye for eye, tooth for tooth They say, when the edge is near, yes! choose a side so only one bomb will strike you They say, their words are the mind's thoughts but then why do they ring so falsely? why does the beating heart scream to the throbbing brain no! do not choose but die twice, before forgetting that the line between black and white is not gray but golden If they say, beware the calm that comes before the storm, then I, I say that the silence in my heart is no calm, but harmony. Aliya Deri JUXTAPOSITION PHOTOGRAPHY  Life vs Death  Harmless vs Deadly  Modern vs Traditional  Elderly vs Young  Still vs Moving  Western vs Eastern  Healthy vs Unhealthy  Strong vs FrailThe wither tree is so fragile, it can be broken easily.But the stone in the lake is so hard and strong.  Interesting juxtaposition from http://saraherogers.blogspot.com/ Beautiful vs Ugly The ballerina present a beautiful performance on the stage, but no one know how much effort she has put in order to performance beautifully. A flowing and effortless in appearance, but requiring so much strength and work. The blisters formed on her feet is ugly, but the outcome after all her hard work is beautiful and pleasant. This sort of remind me as an art students.The artwork created at the end is wonderful , but who knows how many sleepless night she or he has been through just to finish the artwork.  Nature vs Man-made This presentation by Revital Cohen, in which she talks about her Life Support Project, was also presented at the Design Indaba Expo. |
