Negative Exchange Project

I, too, thought that Dan (reworked) and Anne's (original) were the most successful pair. Anne's choice in form and content is very identifiable, as well as her use of vividly colored prints. Dan's version of her image is also very identifiable (as his): the overlaying of images and the cropping into a round-edged or elliptical shape is echoed very much in his original works. He managed to change the context and form by narrowing the content to one subject and depicting it in such a way that we read it quite differently from the original without sacrificing his own photographic voice.
