Alanna Ciarlandini, Red Light, 2022

The image above was inspired by Andy Warhol's "Skull" The red lighting makes this image almost look as if it has a filter which is what I was aiming for without filtering the photo itself. 

"The way in which each sees the other confirms his own view of himself." (Chapter 5)

When I see this quote I hear the phrase "projection". Berger makes this statement to describe the relationship between two people unequal in power. This quote can refer to seeing one another in real life or as an interpretation in art. When people see a certain group of people portrayed as confident, powerful, and well-presented others may believe that they are inferior to them. I feel like these thoughts and interpretations speak for the mindset and being of the person who developed them. 

"What is a love of art?" (Chapter 5)

Throughout these chapters, Berger discusses how both artists and viewers use art to discover the means of life. So what is a love of art? Is loving art appreciating the messages artists put behind their works? Is loving art admiring something that we find pleasurable to look at? There are many answers to Berger's proposed question but what we do know is that art is found in all forms and in none. Art can be whatever a person wants it to be. There is no constant or "right" form of art which is what makes the characterization and usage of the word art so wonderful and expansive.
