I had my exhibition on two different surfaces. One was a brick wall and one was a tree. Therefore one was natural/organic and one was man made. I chose to have my exhibition here because both of these backgrounds are quite plain, but not as plain as a wall or fence etc. So I thought that it would be an interesting place to exhibit my photographs as it doesn't draw attention away from them but it isn't plain. I put 6 photographs on each background and they were a range of different types of photographs. I did this for 2 reasons. One reason being that I did not have a particular theme to go by and my exhibit was in a place where different photographs look good on the background. The other reason being that I put it in an open space, and I wanted my audience to be the members of the local community, and as different people have different tastes, I thought that I'd put up different types of photos.
I asked a few passers by what they thought of my exhibition. One of them was an old man who simply said he "liked it". Another was a young man who just grunted. My friend who I asked to help me put up the photos thought it was a "good idea" to have it on a tree because its "quite weird for a gallery". There was also a young woman who said "I like some of the photos and the tree idea is cool" so I guess thats a success. Overall, I think my exhibit was good because different types of people saw it and I'm not sure if all of them liked it, the fact that different members of my community have different opinions really showed when I did this.
