The following may be described as cells:
-The earth
-Countries
-Cities
-Communities
-Households
-Multi-cellular organisms
-Unicellular organisms
All these things share in common that they are composed of organs: energy producing organs, translating organs, storage organs, protective organs, exchange organs; they all keep the cell alive; they are all part of the cell.
A cell is organic–that is, it contains organs–parts that fit harmoniously together as a whole
The places we all live are put together as organic cells.
I will depict the space in which I live as a cell, very much in the style of Andreas Gefeller. I will display my photographs as a grid with descriptive labels to show the various organs in my living space, using a new perspective to abstract the space.
Alternates:
2) Use one spotlight and multiple exposures to create new shadows to be displayed as diptychs. Using Photoshop the shadows could to toned, and the photographs layered to set up seeming interference patterns creating new tones where the shadows overlap.
3) Photograph bird beaks and their equivalents in human invention, displaying analogous structures of evolution and invention side by side
4) Investigate Hox genes in drosophila, specifically the gene causing bithorax. Apply some of the mutations seen in drosophila on humans using Photoshop manipulation to simulate the macromutations that led to homologous structures such as the hoof, wing, paw and hand.
