The materials involved in this picture are paper, metal and Bakelite. Out of which paper will take the least amount of time to degrade compared to metal and Bakelite that takes a long time to decompose.
If we zoom in the picture in the area where the rectangle is drawn, we could think that the papers or letters are coming out of a  suitcase or bag which is not so weird. Hence, in a second the picture above made sense to us and in another it was unusual.

The potato and tea leaves are sure to decompose soon as opposed to the plastic container which will remain undamaged.
If the focus is brought to the white rectangle, we simply see the natural phenomenon of growth of a potato from under the soil. The roots that are represented by the sprouting and the tea leaves resemble the soil. Hence, this feels normal and we do not question a thing!

We know that applying Nutella on the nail is an act short lived, yet it manages to make us believe in the act for the time being. The plastic of the bottle and the synthetic fibers of the paintbrush are almost everlasting.
Concentrating on the shape, we think of the act of applying nail polish common, although, zooming out of the shape would raise some questions.

# data[].attributes.body
The shoe is made up of EVA(ethyl vinyl acetate) and polyurethane, both of which are really hard to decompose and take double the time compared to metal, which the oven is made of. This act of putting a shoe in the oven is also provisional.
When the attention is on the area of the shape, the shoe can be imagined to be in rack where it normally belongs. It is when we see the whole picture and the light of the oven, we figure out that this setting is peculiar.

This situation is non-permanent but the materials namely, glass, metal and plastic will survive for a long time if not permanently.
If we gather our focus to the white rectangle, it seems like all the utensils have been put in the dishwasher. No one doubts this scene unless they move their eye away from the box and look at the entire image.

I was intrigued to start collecting so I started looking for objects and things that seemed pretty interesting to me and when I saw all the pictures together on the screen, I realised that there is a similarity in each of them and that is where I found my theme odd one out!

Some photos I thought of creating while thinking about putting things in a place where they don't belong.
Articles that are placed where they shouldn't be creating a sort of contrast and making the viewer question its relevance.

Themes:
1.Odd one out/ Queer fish
Uneasiness
2.temporality
3. sense of space(intention or not!)

This was created in my kitchen, where I placed a bunch of letters in the toaster and took a photo with the flash on as the lighting in the kitchen was creating harsh shadows.

The flash in the picture makes it interesting.

It is interesting to see how objects that have no relation with each other react when placed together to create a story.

I came across this idea on the 3rd of October at 23:16 where I was particularly inclined to create a feeling of uneasiness.

My flat mate is the biggest fan of Nutella and I wanted to show her commitment to the same as if she were given a choice, she’d rather put Nutella on her finger than Nail paint.

Process:

To take this photo I asked her to sit on the stairs as I wanted no distraction with the background, and dip the paintbrush in the Nutella then apply it on her fingers. There was just one light source and that was the little light that we got through the half open kitchen doors.

Likes?

I found the lighting and almost a periodic feel to this photograph quite interesting. Also, what is intriguing is how something so common when put in an odd situation seems to make us uncomfortable.

This shoe has been deliberately placed by me in the oven to create a sense of awkwardness.

This photo contains a linear perspective, all the lines are leading the viewers eye to reach the middle of the shoe.

As cutlery serves as a tool to eat food, in the same way a paintbrush is a tool for a painter’s appetite.

With the same idea, I wanted the brush to be highlighted.

I enjoy this symmetrical arrangement, 3 objects each on either side of the spoon and how I feel I can draw an imaginary box around it.

I took this photo intentionally creating an environment that leads us to point out the Queer fish.

I took out my paint tubes and added a Colgate toothpaste amongst them, as the tube of the toothpaste fits right in with the structure of all the other elements yet it makes us fell that itch to separate it from the rest.

Likes?

What I like about the photograph is that it almost appears as the elements are falling and also the contrast of all the white caps with the red toothpaste cap.

I found these elements lying on the road, outside a church on my way to college.

I like the fact that the print on the paper is similar to the leaves around it yet the context of both the elements in the world is very different.

I was walking around only to find a Vaseline container among dry leaves.

I like how a machine-made thing interacts with naturally occurring leaves, I quite enjoy the compositing as the Vaseline finds itself following the rule of thirds.

this is my friend’s vanity and I decided to put a Heinz bottle in the mix. I wanted to keep the objects of my vanity in their natural position so I did not move anything around but carefully placed a Heinz bottle in the backdrop.

Likes?
I find the positioning of the objects rather bizarre, but that turns out to be interesting as the viewer has to look for the ketchup as it’s hidden behind other objects.

All the cutlery is steel which will be present around for a fairly long time whereas, the brush and chopsticks are made up of wood which decays easily. The bristles of the brush on the other hand are made up of synthetic fibres which has a lifespan ranging between the alloy and wood.
When we look only at the area inside the box drawn, it can feel like the paint brush is kept between palette knifes and other instruments used in painting.

# data[].attributes.body
Regarding the temporality of elements, although plastic tubes will soon be discarded, it is not hidden that plastic is durable, debatably permanent.
If we gather our attention to the rectangular box, it looks like the toothpaste tube is surrounded by other tubes and perhaps kept in a shelf in the bathroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Leaves in the picture above are sure to degrade soon whereas, paper will take a few weeks to decompose.
Focusing on the box in the image above, one can imagine the road to be a pin board and the paper, a piece of print stuck on it. The moment we take our eyes off the rectangle, a bigger picture can be seen which changes the sense of the situation completely.

# data[].attributes.body
Leaves will decay whereas, the metal body of the Vaseline will remain intact for many years.
If we pay attention to the box drawn on the image, it could feel like an editorial shoot where the Vaseline is purposely kept in that environment to make sense of the advertisement.

It is temporary in the fact that as soon as there will be a gust of wind, the feather is going to flow with it, so we know that it's position is not everlasting. The bark would decompose faster compared to the bird feather that can take up to years.
If we make the rectangle our focal point, we could imagine the feather attached to a bird sitting on a tree or coming out of it's nest. When we pull our focus away, we see that a feather is stuck on a bark which changes our perspective instantly.

# data[].attributes.body
Most of the bottles and other objects in this image are made up of plastic which will undeniably be around for a long time. Also, the glass containers for that matter will take millions of years to decompose.
If the shape is made the centre of attention, it just looks like the bottle is surrounded by other bottles of various substances inside a cupboard or refrigerator.

As we all know that the title of a movie is what we generally see knowing that it is only a matter of seconds after which it is off screen and the film proceeds.
Typography changes in the last letter of the image, where we go from a cursive to a chalky font. If we only look at the shape we would expect the last letters to follow the type of the previous ones but it is only when we zoom out we notice it is not the case.

How the graphic designer has played with fonts in this title of the documentary ‘Blonde’, really intrigues me. The 2 fonts in this title give us a sense of 2 dimensionality, that there is more to uncover about Marylin Monroe.

For a toaster to have paper in it as opposed to usual bread is something unique. I read an article on how letters are dealt with (Jolly, 2009). From that I have concluded that many people due to rage or various hardships in relationships and life can burn away letters, that meant something to them at a different moment in time. Letters that hold great national or historic value can be sent to archives and if that is not possible they go up into flames so that they do not fall in the wrong hands.

Placing the potato in the tea leaves is a peculiar thing to do, let alone it's placing on the Hob. First of all, the potato in the container with it's roots in the tea resembling soil is odd as no one, grows potatoes in a container. Secondly, Timer written on the hob is a pun for the potato growing over time, and the timer on the heating plate itself that indicates the duration for the food to cook.
Also the fact that the potato in the photo is the only object that can continue to grow stands out compared to the rest of the elements around it.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo seems to fit just right in my collection as it gives that odd feel. Using the paintbrush as an applicator and nutella as nail polish is not conventional. In certain cultures, people find playing with food really offensive, they teach their kids about values of etiquettes and a well mannered behavior, whereas, a few think that trying new things would give wings to their imagination and this acts as a satisfactory achievement for them.

This isn’t where one would find a shoe naturally, hence; it does not belong inside the oven.

The shoe stands out with its fluid/ inorganic shape compared to rest of the organic/ geometrical parts surrounding it.
People with Dementia tend to forget where they have placed certain objects and sometimes keep them in unexpected places. Therefore, for us this act could be ridiculous but for someone who has a disease, it could very well be normal.

# data[].attributes.body
The dirty dishes instead of being put in a dishwasher have been put in the drier, which looks similar but their motives are completely different. The colour blue stands out among all the other elements that are in grey scale.

# data[].attributes.body
The brush as seen in the fig. stands out with its purpose and variation in material.
In terms of the material it is the only object that is comprised of a soft part i.e., the bristles of the brush, while the other elements are rigid and inflexible.
The purpose of the brush is to paint and the cutlery to aid in eating.
For the artist, a paintbrush is as good as the rest of the cutlery as for them the painting is the final food while a brush assists in finishing it.

# data[].attributes.body
Toothpaste is the one that draws all attention as its purpose is completely different from the elements surrounding it, the former is used to clean our teeth while the latter elements are used to stain i.e., paint a surface.
If we consider the visual aspect then toothpaste is the only tube with a red cap.
Toothpaste is a basic necessity in every home, contrary to paint bottles and tubes which are looked at as leisure and can be parted with.

# data[].attributes.body
The most obvious thing that stands out in the picture above, is the leaf printed on paper as all the other leaves are naturally occurring. Every object in the picture is physically present in it apart from the printed leaf that resembles a practically existing object.
What is strange is, both the paper and the leaves are the outputs of the same source, i.e., the tree, a living substance. In contrast to the road and the brick wall which is made up of unnatural substances i.e., concrete and cement.

# data[].attributes.body
First of all, the Vaseline is not in its natural environment, where one pictures it, it is rather thrown away amongst leaves which is indeed odd.
Further the purpose of Vaseline is to cure dryness and ironically most of the leaves around it are dry.

# data[].attributes.body
The instant feel for the need to remove the feather is because the feather is soft and delicate compared to the whole tough and hard tree trunk, it is more fluid in its shape as opposed to the geometric lines of the bark.
There are only natural elements in the picture, yet when we see a bird on the tree we do not mind it, in comparison to the feather which just seems incorrectly placed.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt that though the ketchup bottle looks similar to the one’s near it, its content is completely unique. It stands out from the rest as we see that the other products are not edible but the sauce is. The viewer immediately gets a feeling of removing the sauce bottle, as it belongs to the kitchen.
For disorganised and messy people this sight would not come as quite the shock, as they are used to being in cluttered environments surrounded by all kinds of stuff that they forget to place where it belongs. On the other hand, people who are sedulous at keeping their immediate environment clean would definitely have a problem with this picture.

# data[].attributes.body
All the letters apart from the letter ‘e’ are in running writing and that is why the viewer anticipates the same for the last letter but what they get instead is a distant, different ‘e’, which immediately generates a thought in the mind of the viewer about, why is it done that way and makes the letter ‘e’ stand out.

This photo has been staged by me on the floor with all the elements in my kitchen.

After the picture was taken, I noticed the light reflections that were added by the flash of my phone, and the gradient it gave to the image. It almost looks like there was a fire element involved as burning of letters could resemble that.

# data[].attributes.body
The placement of the potato in the bed of tea granules was purposely done and it was placed in such a way to make it look like the potato has it's roots in the ground. The one-third of the picture from the bottom, shows a timer on the hob which was entirely coincidental but worked with the outcome. It seems like we are cooking the potato on the stove with the soil it was grown in.

# data[].attributes.body
The placement of all the objects namely, the hands, Nutella and the brush have been done deliberately. Although, unintentionally the lighting and keeping it on the stairs for a white background gave it much more depth. Because of the stairs, the image does not look flat,.

# data[].attributes.body
Placing the shoe in the oven was an intentional act, whereas the angle of the picture was not deliberately decided. One can see both the racks which makes this situation more relatable as people put footware in racks.

The objects were consciously placed in the Drier, what I realised looking at the photo afterwards, is that all the shapes in the picture are either rectangular or circular.
Also, the picture comprises of colours in the greyscale apart from the blue in the knife that stands out, which was unknowingly placed in the centre.

# data[].attributes.body
This systematic arrangement was deliberately done by me.
After taking the picture, one can see that all the objects that are straight / parallel i.e., which form a uniform rectangle in themselves have been placed alternately among elements that have a larger head compared to their body and are non-uniform.

# data[].attributes.body
The perspective of the photo above is intentional, to create a sense of the elements falling down whereas, the paint tubes themselves were emptied on the floor by me and got scattered in a random manner while I placed Colgate in the middle.

# data[].attributes.body
Placement of all the pieces in the picture was accidental, I found them this way. Although, all the elements are organic, we can prominently see one particular shape i.e., a triangle, formed at the two left corners vertically and one big triangle taking the right vertical line of the road and the dry leaves along the printed paper.

# data[].attributes.body
If we look at it from a perspective that somebody dropped the tin by mistake or threw it away, then one can make sense of the situation. On the other hand, if someone decided to knowingly throw the container of Vaseline on the ground then this act is intentional from their perspective.

# data[].attributes.body
In the photo, all elements have been unaltered and captured as they were found. The feather was stuck to the trunk by the wind and the moss growing on it is an organic process too. Therefore, in this picture nothing was done consciously,
though in alternate scenario the feather could have been put on the bark on purpose. By looking at the image no one could be sure of the intension of this particular arrangement.

# data[].attributes.body
The thought behind this picture was to keep the sauce bottle  in a crowded place where it does not belong, I ended up keeping it on a shelf without disturbing the positions of the other elements. Despite the placement of the bottle that is intentional, the other objects have not been displaced.

# data[].attributes.body
For me as a viewer this was what I saw on the screen and took a photo of the same as it interested me. This was deliberately done by the graphic designer to create a sense of tragedy, that is what I understand by the movie, the letter ‘e’ is Marylin among the other letters that is the world.
Also, the gradient of the colour blue was not planned, it just came out that way in the photograph, which resembles the drama this film entails.
