Browse Anna Sellen’s OCA Photography graduate case study padlet. 

Add a short note to your learning log with one or two points that may have relevance to your own practice and project development.

I am aware of Anna Sellen’s work and have spoken with her about her gallery space presented in the bunker. I find her work very impressive and all the more so when you glimpse what went behind the production of her Major Project as shown on the OCA Padlet.

I was fascinating to watch the project develop from first steps of discovering a cold war bunker then experimenting with what to do with this bunker whether placing her family inside or photographing the interior as is or just being in that space. I was interested in her experimentation with sound and digital video and text. Her words on experimentation with visual language. This post for me has great resonance and is something for me to take away and to think about for my own work. Sellen’s experimentation with burning, family archive, text, layering, scratching, concrete, poetry and installations show the depth of Sellen’s work and her interests. I have done a lot of experimentation too but have not expressed my efforts in any way close to how Sellen has. Again, much for me to take away and think about. I think what is interesting from this case study is to watch Sellen’s work expand from where it began on OCA to a wider base in the outside World.
