This image of the coal miner’s house is
more to see what you see rather than what is actually there? The room is not
empty, in this a room of cardboard, posters and chairs; more iconic in this
image is the rocking chair. The first thing that you do notice is the chair,
alone and empty, the chair is still a chair. The posters on the wall are saying
things that are very different, what are their meanings?
The first “buy graduation gifts here” the
second is of a coca cola advert with Santa saying “..The pause that keeps you
going”.
We see the signs in the room to be pointing
out a message to make you think of what a life could be, and that a pause is
something you need to keep you going.
The image is being presented as a home for
the poor coal miner, made out of cardboard and wood, not a stable home how ever
what are the posters for? Are they for the whole idea of creating a better
approach on life?
What I like in the picture are the subtle
messages, this given by the adverts in the picture, the smiling people and
cartoon of Santa, however this can be discussed in more than one way:
Are they for motivation? Are they a reality check?
The Photo has many different aspects, and
many to talk about, the chair and the adverts; these are the two keys points in
this image. I liked the look of the
picture and how simple it looked and the alone and empty feel when looking at
it.
