Maquette no. 3, still Audrey though..

Repost from 25 feb 2010

For my graduation in 2008 I made an exposition about Audrey Hepburn. I love her.

I had the great luck that at the same time I started working on the assignment, Jan van Toorn and Els Kuijpers gave guestlessons on how to make a good exhibition. It wasn't my year, but I could join in. It made a huge difference. Somehow I was tempted to make some kind of time line thing out of it, it does sound logical at first doesn't it. You would be walking around in Audrey's life as if you were living it. It can be nice, if its a reasoned choice. I learned to look at what is the essence of the subject. The subject and goal of the exhibition became to show her as a woman and as an icon.

Eventually my scheme looked like this:

The most important aspect of the exhibition is A, the ones after that are B, you can also have C's, but I didn't. In this case the A was about the passions that Audrey Hepburn had. (Note: all of these things are as I interpreted them after reading about her, unfortunately (and of course) I never met her). Those passions were her family, children, friends, husband(s) and pets. I felt like they were closest to her, the most important thing in her life and it should have the most prominent spot in the exhibition.
