Intro
for this project, I was given the theme of borders and I have to produce a short project that explores the given theme of borders and have outcomes that should be approximately 3 - 6 good prints that you consider best communicates my idea around borders.
Research on what does the theme of borads mean to me and what my Ideas are?
war photographers - D-day - LIFE Magazine - documentary photography.
my first ideas are to take a street documentary approach to the theme of borders signs and areas that can't enter or are restricted
staff only, female loo, male loo, no entry, exit only signs
train barriers that come down when the train passes by
A picture frame a space that stops you going any further because it has a border going all the way around, for example, you can't put an A1 image into an A3 picture frame because the space is limited. A TV if your TV is a 50-inch screen it wouldn't show anything bigger.
Borders as well can be seen as a barrier that stops people entering or exiting a place, on the other hand, it also is seen as where a place starts and where an area ends.
in the UK we have borders that are made up from walls that the Romans made such as in Chester while in other places it is divided up by rivers and mountain ranges we even have borders that split us from others countries due to the Irish and English channel.
In America, all 50 states are mostly divided up the most river and different time zones. My approach to borders is the concept of restriction, either an area or space that is restricted by a border. Restricted access is also a physical border normally shown by signs that state who can cross the border. For example, toilets that are specific for gender or disability or parent-friendly have restricted access.

History of borders. In history, borders were decided on race or class or sex. For example, segregation between white people and people of colour could be seen as a border. There are historical figures that have broken down these different types of border. Such as Rosa Parks in 1955 who is well known for refusing to accept borders separating different races (as she refused to give up her seat for a white person on the bus). Similarly, the suffragettes' movement questioned the restrictions on women to have the same rights as men (for example voting) and broke down that border. They also created physical borders by chaining themselves to railings.
Another type of borders is a type that we create with our body such as crossing our arms it a sign of not wanting to be near people or just simply to feel comfortable
