My Little Dead Dick - Shanghai (27th April 2007)
My Little Dead Dick is a colaberation of two photographers - Patrick Tsai and Madi Ji. They met on-line and loved each others photographs so met and 'fell in love' as the book states. Their imagery is a basic record of their time together, in the images you get the feeling for their passion to photography but also towards each other. The images were posted up to Flickr.com as large posts which many people subscribed to - this is also a great example of young, contemporary photographers using the internet to boost their careers and gain recognition. In realation to their work and reality, the images they take are reality - the reality of falling in love and spending time with someone you love. All of their images were taken on film and carefully edited - they did all of this process together. The images cover the breakdown of the relationship too, they are a mixture of portraits and self-portraits.
In the way of relating this to my project there is just the fact the they are self portraits and how they have made it easier for themselves by using two of them to create images of themselves and each other. I also thought it would be a good one to research for the factor of using the internet to boost your name.
