barebones communication

… a blog on communication

tilting for connotations (notebook)


Here is one for you.
 
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is probably the most well know art gallery in Scandinavia. It is about a 30 minutes drive north of Copenhagen, Denmark.
 
I went there this weekend and took this shot from the hip?
 
I am sure that you recognize the denotative elements in the shot: people, paintings, ceiling, walls, lights, more paintings, etcetera.
 
But what does it do to the content of the picture that the camera was tilted when I pressed the trigger. You could describe that content as the pictures connotative content. 
 
I did a slight makeover in Photoshop (most cropping), so please notice that even if this is a casual shot, I ended up with a fairly strict and balanced composition, anyway.  But is is tilted.
 
If you were forced to pick a product for this shot what product would you say that should be?  
 
I pose this as an open question, and, gosh, listening to this I really start wondering if I should take up schoolteaching. The point is, that I can see from the blog statistics, that the posts with the most clicks on the blog, are those concerned with denotation and connotation. So, I am simply responding to a marked demand :-)
 
Here comes the picture.
 
Enjoy the tilt :)
