This is a photography technique purposefully centred around the aesthetic quality of blur. It can be achieved using a wide aperture either by itself or by creating shaped apertures with something simple such as black card/paper. This can be combined with movement.
These shapes are what I am interested in. Creating apertures using the nets of the platonic/primary solids and experimenting with colours to see what effects I can create. Colour choice is relevant because we all subconsciously link colour with emotions, both positive and negative. I will experiment with warm/cold colour palettes to see what feelings I can achieve according to the natural (Platonic) nets and their architectural (Primary) counterparts, and to see whether the colour and shape combinations create varied atmospheres.
This will provide a challenge as I have never made apertures before, but I am intrigued about bokeh and think it could hold a 2D answer to the exploration of the idea that a “machine is a house for living in”. I still plan to look at the 3D models but the deconstruction of them is an avenue that I believe should be explored as the shapes and forms could create their own architectural merit. Further study of the different nets of the shapes will aid in my approach to making the actual 3D shapes too.
Below are some very recent experiments of my own bokeh, currently without shaped apertures (See if you can guess what they are!!):
