Love in Conceptual Photography
octubre 6th, 2007
I’ve been looking for information or examples regarding love in conceptual photography but I can’t say I’ve been lucky. For those new to the concept, Conceptual Photograpy is a kind of picture where the identifiable subject is not the primary emphasis of the work, but rather the cryptic or interpretive meaning found in the composition of the photo. In other words, the artist makes a photograph of a concept or idea. Thus the subject is strictly abstract, even though what is depicted in the photograph are real objects.
In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.
For an example of what constitutes a Conceptual Photography, take a look at the following two pictures:

Hands in bed, by Kreative K

A bleeding heart by Just Juls
Now back to my search of Love in Conceptual Photography, I found a few interesting pictures but these two got my attention:
