Tara Tavi

Inspiration sent through my letter box this morning . Signed myself to be Vice student ambassador last year , only now have they sent me a copy of Vice! Anywayyy.. Looking through the mag today always skipping the text and searching for images, I came across some amazing illustrations by the name

of Tara Tavi . Mixed media , photomontage illustrations, quirky pieces!

Exposed Exhibition

Went to the Tate Modern Exposed exhibition . ‘Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera’ – with some pieces showing people unawares with their guard down. Great exhibition, some amazing photographs!

Showed long lens photography, night vision cameras, infrared and CCTV all play their part in taking pictures of people without their knowledge.

Here are some personal highlights:

Emily Jacir 'Linz Diary'

Leonard McCombe '[Eyes right is executed with almost military precision by dining car males aboard New York bound 20th Century Limited as Kim Novak eases into a seat]'

Yale Joel '[Man adjusting overcoat and grimacing while looking in trick one-way mirror, lobby of Broadway movie theatre, Times Square, New York]'

Shizuka Yokomizo 'Untitled'

Brassai 'Lovers in a small cafe, near the Place d'Ita

lie'

Unknown Photographer .A young man called Amos Gexella looks back towards safety while perched on the sixth-floor balcony of a building in downtown Johannesburg, 4 August 1975. An estimated 2,000 onlookers yelled: “Jump! Jump!” Two hours later, Amos rolled off the parapet and fell to his death

Detail from Subway Passengers, New York, 1938 by Walker Evans.

It was such a delight to see so many beautiful photographs all bought together and to see such familiar and iconic works in actual photograph form rather than in print or online. Room after room of quality images, it's a credit to TATE and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art that they could collate such a mass of relevant works and present them in such a fabulous way. Go and see it!

This is a really great project which does exactly what it says: one question posed to 50 people. Beautifully shot and wonderfully put together.

Looking at my perception of ‘time’. How i see time in my head. Its all muddled/ in a rush / running late. Was just doodleling this in my sketch book. Could I record my Mind through illustrations?
