Stalker Zine: Entries Round One

Round one

Here are the entries that we received for the open brief. They were strong in the photography category but more illustration and graphic design entries were needed. The brief was extended in these categories, while in the mean time the winners from the photographers were chosen. The following images are the entries we received:

Martha Glass

Category entered: Photography

Course Details: BA Hons, Photography, 1st Year (Nottingham Trent University)

This was a strong entry and the team thought it would translate well into a poster.

Joe McCarthy

Category: Photography

Course Details: BA HONS Photography (2nd Year) Nottingham Trent University

Here is a description that Joe send discussing his entry.

After great difficulty trying to photograph the effects of sport on spectators at pubs, bars, and professional football matches I decided to take a different approach.

I decided to photograph the football match through the television screen, creating highly pixelated images that are not unlike those created by surveillance cameras.

The images produced are a comment on censorship and copyright in sport (especially football), how can football clubs justify the surveillance, filming, and stallking of fans, spectators, officials and players but not allow the general public to do the same? From the seat in my living room I am able to stalk and photograph whatever the television screen allows me to.
