With the images chosen within the group, they were categorised according to the categories of :
uncomfortable/easy, ethical/unethical, important/trivial and vulgar/cathartic. With categorising the images, it allowed the discussion of how you order them. The outcomes found from the ordering of the Images to the different categories is :
gore is the most trivial and most uncomfortable
low resolution photos lack meaning
if you knew the person it might have more importance
is it art or by a journalist or from a bystander
is it propaganda
could be desensitise- its the connotations which are massive and the problems related with the people in the images
adding a context changes the importance of the images massively
vulgar images such as the hand with the holes are vulgar to create a reaction.
With this task it helped to create a question and theme to base the publication from and helped create ideas of how we want to approach it.
