I usually dont mind ppl having different interpretations of characters and relationships, but this is just an insult to my boy’s character and his connection to nagi.

Reo may have developed an interest in nagi bc of his talent (and i find the notion of him doing the same thing he hated his family for at the start very interesting btw), but since then he obviously has developed an emotional attachment, and to him, it has to be nagi. he’s met people with even more skill than him in blk but he still hasnt spared them a 1/100 of the attention he gives to his best friend.

ofc i think it was important for them to improve on their own and maybe it was premature of him to go back to devoting himself to nagi so quickly, but i truly believe its bc he understood nagi’s perspective since he “abandoned him” and his true intentions.

the difference in their perspectives is very clear even before they enter blue lock:

at that point winning the world cup was just reo’s dream but even then, to reo, the most important thing was for them to be together until the end (nagi was the one who made him promise that would be the case too !!) , while nagi was content with just going along with him bc he started caring abt him as a person

until they lost to isagi’s team. from that moment, he decided (and was right imo) that they need to do whatever they can, even if they have to take separate paths for some time, to get stronger.

and nagi didnt “lose sight of their og goal” what are they talking about?? nagi literally mentions/thinks about their dream to be the best together every chance he gets?? he even got mad at reo cause he thought his friend was the one who forgot about their dream. he thought he was taking the vital steps to make it a reality and was frustrated reo couldnt see that:

reo felt betrayed because he cared about nagi himself as much as he cared about their dream and thought that nagi used him as a stepping stone to move forward alone, when actually it would be more accurate to say that nagi views everyone except for reo as a stepping stone. (i dont blame reo for this, since even tho nagi tried to communicate that hes doing it for them, he did a terrible job of it).

but during their latest talk reo had already worked on himself and had acknowledged the fact that he was in the wrong for assuming that them being together no matter the cost was the right thing

so when nagi approached him and explained himself a little better this time (boy was shocked when he realised how reo took their separation and put in a little bit more effort lol)

reo finally understood how their desires intertwine now. how can people claim that reo sees nagi as a tool when its more of the other way around; meaning reo sees himself as a tool for making nagi the best striker in the world and he already declared that to Ego before:

and again now:

plus saying that he and nagi arent friends and they are just using each other is so out of touch with everything we’ve seen so far. reo’s devotion to nagi aside, nagi too cares for reo a lot outside of soccer. even after he left reo, he still got excited to see him and talk to him despite everything; to him it was obvious they would continue to interact no matter which team each of them was on:

and he also felt bad for hurting him and expressed the hope that he would forgive him

the only thing that i wish would happen now is for nagi to apologise to reo face to face instead of only doing it in his own thoughts, and for reo to also talk about why he was hurt. but i feel like they understood each other either way without many words, because in the end, their bond is just that strong.

they now both want to succeed more than they ever have before and have stopped being their complacent selves we met during the first selection. they are both thinking far into the future and not just within blue lock, so whether they keep moving forward together or separated from now on, it will be knowing they are working towards their shared dream.

#blue lock #blue lock spoilers #nagireo #reonagi #if u read all this u're a hero asdjk its all over the place like my feelings #but yeh. i love them #hope this shows in the tags now...how am i supposed to share my thoughts with the 15 ppl who r as obsessed with them as i am huh

WPS Idea pool

https://www.anasamoylova.com/work-1/#/sublime/Week 2-3 WPS - Initial proposals

This module allowed us to choose from 3 different methods of presenting our next project. We had to hand in our initial project proposal this week in order to be divided into our chosen groups - we had 2 choices to nominate, my main one was Page, as I’d like to create a lovely book for a long time now. However I am still unclear whether which idea I would like to start to work on, so I handed in two proposals - both are very sketchy so far. Here I’ll copy & paste both forms, although I might have a brand new idea combining aspects from both proposals! All I know is that I’d like to work in a studio, creating still lives, working with a Hasselblad medium format camera and to shoot on colour film…

The first idea, ‘What is music?’ has formulated in my head a few months ago now, while I was travelling to work. Not an original idea, but I can be so enthusiastic if I find a great new song or artist! I guess this teenagerish dream of creating psychedelic still life compositions have been always lingering in my subconscious :D I did a few notes on how I want to start to work in the darkroom, I have to dig it up and upload it here.

The other idea is an ongoing struggle of mine - I don’t like to live in London as much as I used - but I am ‘grounded’ here because of my choice of getting an art degree in the city - after 8 years it’s harder and harder to leave my family and friends behind when I visit them in Hungary - but I know that I would never had the opportunity to study photography in my country, as the ‘art’ community is closely knit group, and if you don’t have a fine-artsy style you have no chance into getting into one of the leading art unis, like the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest. Of course, I have never applied there, as I never had the confidence on doing so - that is why I have always liked this country, as everyone has a chance to build on their confidence and skills without any underlying judgements (as in Hungary people are very critical with each other and for some reason we don’t like to help each other, and I am strongly missing the sense of inhesion within my nation) - so the basic struggle is the sense of belonging, feeling lost between two worlds…

Anyway, here is the proposal:

For this particular idea I feel like to take a few self - portraits - which I really hate in general, but it would be interesting to include myself in a way. I am heading to the studio next Wednesday afternoon for a test shoot.

As I have mentioned, my second idea have already changed slightly - instead of juxtaposing images of London and my hometown in a book - I still want to create still lives, construct them, as I like to have control over my work. Taking Lorenzo Vittuli’s strikingly colourful images as well as Anastasia Samoylova’s assemblages for first inspiration, I am very much drawned to create similar photographs AND to include my self portraits as part of the assemblage?

Both artists are working with colourful pieces of tools to enhance the meaning and aspirations behind their work.

Lorenzo Vitturi - Dalston Anatomy and Money Must Be Made

Using found material on Riddle Street Market in Dalston, his constructed still lives are strikingly colourful, picturing different cultures representing themselves on the market - only using tools and materials found on the market, cleverly piecing them together in his studio. This abstracted characterization of a place is very creative. Like he is bringing individuals back from the market to his studio, giving them ‘another’ life, a new identity. Indeed, he is juxtaposing still lives with portraits on diptychs, I guess that’s what he was trying to do.

I cannot get over how his books are beautifully juxtaposed. Colours and textures are flawlessly following each other page by page, occasionally interrupted with a blank white page to start a new series of picture flow. The portraits he took on the markets are often rephotographed, by adding a new element to the prints as a brushstroke, coloured pigment powder and cut outs, sometimes layering a couple of photograph to give a dimension to the composition. On his website there are many diptyches from the Dalston series, juxtaposing still lives with portraits.

I have seen his work in the Photographers Gallery 3-4 years ago, but I cannot find the photos on my Google Drive :( I remember this diptych from Dalston Anatomy, I guess the most popular one, but I remember this electric blue caught my eyes even back then.

Anyway, more inspirational photos I love:

African cultures vibrant colours must have soothed his heart while he was at the Lagos market documenting the gentrification of the area. His photos are also made for the purpose of capturing the essence of the places he is visiting - ohmy, I just realised what a cliche I have noted here. Like is not that obvious. ohwell, well done for me for this brilliant observation.

Anastasia Samoylova - Landscape Sublimes

https://www.anasamoylova.com/work-1/#/sublime/

‘Landscape Sublime project explores the connection between the natural environment and its representation through photography. I construct temporary assemblages out of internet-sourced images that I re-photograph with a digital camera to produce the final works. ‘

Her working process is based on found materials as well, only from the endless pit of the internet. Her main focus is on working with cliche imagery, using themes such as ‘Flowers, Lighting, Desert etc’, to recreate these sublimes in her studio, reprinting the images, folding and warping them, making like ‘building boxes’ of them in front of the lens, to create interesting compositions and to rhetorically ask questions about the endless image making flow of today’s society with digital camera became so widespread.

Here are my notes and quotes from this video - ( as I’m too lazy to rewrite them here for the post, sorry :D )

she is interested in the perception of landscapes (…icebergs etc) not in the actual landscapes

‘the personal and collective idea of the environment, shaped by the existing images of that environment...’

her approach to photography - unmediated reality

‘there is no such thing as non constructed image’

‘...the process of assembling a still life for her is a metaphor for the memory that blends pictures of different elements of the scene into a collage environment....’

using one main image, and then build the composition from there, adding more elements

hours and days of production, assembling the photo, figuring out the light bit by bit

using mirrors, wrapping paper to reflect light

strips of images, curled up ones

core of Autumn Roads image - several conflicts, unanswered questions - found image - created image, straight vs composite image, landscape vs still life, natural vs artificial

she says every photograph transforms space in one way or another…a photograph creates a new construction of a place…as framing does already

photographs are always constructed , which means that photography conveys a constructed reality

Looking at her photographs one cannot help but notice the 3D effect she is creating with her building blocks - and at the same time the photograph, specially on my laptop screen is flat, so she is tricking the eye and invites the viewer for closer observation. I would love to see her prints in real life in a gallery!

My assemblages would be representing each places - London and Bekescsaba -, using different materials, )maybe like Samoylova, photographs to build up a little construction...but what kind of paper she has been using to print her images? as there are no reflections on the prints at all, and she did state that she is using flash when photographing her assemblages) and colour schemes ( Hungarian and UK flag colours?)

How can I incorporate the self portraits ? - having them printed out and then cutting myself out of it would suggest that I am lost in those places...?

This work needs a lot of attention to detail and experimentation in the studio. In this case I need to book my Wednesday afternoons to work in studio - the previous day I have to gather my tools and ideas for the following day.

Tomorrow I’ll only play around with a few lights, might bring in some items to shoot some still lives. I’ll have a more finalised plan by next week on what to photograph :D I feel like I need additional research.

Anyway, I guess constructing the photos in the studio is bloody hard and demands loads of effort and concentration. Also creativity. I don’t consider myself to be able to express my imagination on this level ( anyway, I cannot compare myself to anyone professional heh) , I guess I need tons of research in Dutch still life painting, some research in symbolism ( I have done my own research in reading about Dali and Frida Kahlo a few months ago, so hey, at least I’m tying.) and studio still life photography. New Objectivity, Formalism maybe...using striking shadows and colours...maybe Vivian Sassen’s work will be worthwhile to have a closer look again.
