Good morning
I’m totally fascinated about lines and perspective. I like long shots in hallways, anything that has a depth to it.
- Melanie Pullen
Again, we are looking at Melanie Pullen and today we will look at some of her different work.
MELANIE PULLENVIOLENT TIMES
NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC WORKS
JULY 12 THROUGH AUGUST 2008
This new body of work, which Melanie Pullen began in 2004, is an examination of historic battle imagery and the social impact of conflict, combat, the stylization of war, and the viewpoint of victory. It includes light-box portraits of soldiers from different countries and eras, battle scenes, individual and groups of jumping soldiers, and images of biowarfare select agents such as anthrax. This is the first work in which Pullen makes use of the light-box which gives the artworks a floating cinematic effect. For Violent Times, Pullen enlisted the help of set builders, makeup artists, actors, models, stylists, and stunt crews, among others. To create one of the monumental battle scenes she worked for several months with one of the top movie studios to build large sections of the city of Berlin and then populated this shot with a cast of hundreds.
