Old is New Again - Ryan Black

 



My concept was "digital museum." I love learning about history, but the 18th-20th centuries are my blind spot and in my opinion, there's no better way to learn about history than to go to a museum. To visualize this, I inserted a picture of myself in the setting as though I'm experiencing the moment with the featured individuals. I chose to wear clothing that deliberately contrasted with the others and I chose to depict myself looking down at my phone to convey that in no way am I able to interact with any of the men in the photo and that I'm a tourist to the time.
