Droste Effect

'The Droste effect describes a specific type of recursive picture in which a smaller version of the larger image is featured within the larger image' - Adobe

50 Examples

While researching more into this, i have notice that a lot of digital versions of the effect used the swirl composition. I found it quite hard to find many examples of what i wish to create that is a straight version rather then a swirl.

This is an example of a photograph that has similar qualities to the Droste effect but not fully the same. In this image the photographer has taken a photo of himself using two mirrors that are facing each other. This work is not what i am aiming to create in my own work, but i found it to be important to look at a range of different ways to create this effect. This use of having two mirrors facing each other is something i have seen in person (no photo of that time or memory on where), i found this fascinating when i experienced it in person, this photo reminded me of that memory,

Roberts work on the Droste effect use a swirl composition, some of them also involves making a swirly pattern using a repeating image. This images are very visually interesting, I like the images with with glasses and phone box as they have used a the focus of the image to create the swirl, such as the a section of the glasses frame being used to make the swirl as it gets smaller.
While these images are interesting and something that i would like to explore one day, it isn't quite what i am aiming to create and seems very complicated to learn in the time we have left for this project.






Flicker 
These are some examples of the Droste effect on Flicker. This is a mix of people who have done something similar to what i wish to do as well as some people I find have made an interesting image by using this effect.

This is an example of what i wish to do, with having the image for straight on as well as being image within an image. I find this one interesting on how the image inside if upside down. This will be someone interesting to explore if i have spare time.

These examples link more to what i wish to do. This photo is a straight on version of the effect, this is what i wish to do for my work.

Putting up show day 1 3rd June 2024 Today was my first official day of putting up the show, I wanted to focus on cleaning out my area, adding the mesh and fabric to the frame and putting the frame up. What I was able to complete  I realise that I put the mesh on the wrong way, but j was able to fix the issue buy flipping the frame before I put tje fabric on. My original plan of having the hook things for the books will not work, due the the fabric being in the way. I chose to do tie fabric tight and didn't realise that I wouldn't be able to put the wire between the fabric and the frame. I plan to put the hook things on the under part of the frame or on the inside edge I don't like the sag that is happening to the mesh, I plan to sew it to the fabric once the beads have been hung, so that it will have a more clean and finish look to it Before I headed home, I did some lose draping of the fabric so that I have a bett...

Brocken books When demolding some of the books the corners broke off, due to not much sticking to plaster I chose to use plaster to stick it together. I did have some issues with it sticking, so I scopped it onto the book and plan to sand it down Sanding - doesn't work well and takes alot of time to get a little amount done Speak with James - next time soak the peices before adding plaster as it would mean it can't soak up the water from the new plaster, making it easier to stick Sanding - due to the books being fully dry he recommended that I soak the books and then scrape the the book smooth Soaking and Sanding - I am able to use the spoon to get under the second layer of plaster and remove it without the corner falling off again

 Project proposal  My plan for this project, is to explore a made-up counterculture around the idea of taking back control/identity from those who are in authority. This counterculture can be seen in both a negative and positive late, as the people reclaiming their power have been labelled as criminals. On one hand, this could be viewed as in a negative way as the people/criminals deserve the punishment they received, making it seen as unjustified for them to take back their freedom. But it can also be seen as everyday people reclaiming what was unjustly taken from them—those who were wrongfully accused, committed crimes out of necessity to survive, or became victims of their circumstances, not intending harm or feeling remorse for what they did, or simply making a mistake. I will be taking inspiration from Japanese criminal tattoos from the Edo period, which were used to mark someone as a criminal. I'll also be looking at traditional Japanese tattooing, as this form of tattoo...
