Radio diptych


I have started to pair my images together with text and illustrations from Protect and Survive. By experimenting with different combinations of text and imagery I hope to be able to find the most appropriate way to present my work.

Naglaa Walker


In her series On Physics Naglaa Walker combines photographic diptychs, which juxtapose constructed blackboard images of chalked equations with carefully staged photographic images of people - for example, human emotional behaviour such as kissing or arguing is paired with a graphic physical law.

In a similar way, I will try juxtaposing my images with illustrations and text from the Protect and Survive handbook.





Enlarged Diagrams:

Enlargements scanned from the 1962 issue of Knowledge Encyclopaedic Magazine for children:


Knowledge: Nuclear wepons for children



I recently found this 1960s encyclopaedic magazine publication at a car boot sale. This issue simplifies the physics behind nuclear reactions for children to understand.

I find the simple diagrams quite interesting and hope to perhaps be able to include them with my images for this project.

Protect and Survive pages and quotes:








As my project has been heavily inspired by the information contained within the Protect and Survive handbook, I have been considering combining my images with some of the illustrations and quotes taken from the booklet.
