I have created a few words and formulas to give Objectif3280 its own identity.
+ Eco-photographic tree
Name given to the graphic representation of the project Objectif3280 in reference to a family tree.
- tree because each set of pictures is like a branch starting from the same place, the tree trunk, which is my first picture
- echo-photographic because its branches are composed of pictures that echo one another
+ Ancestry
Set of pictures prior to an echo
+ Descendants
All the pictures following from an echo
+ Echo or photographic echo
Name given to the picture you post to anwer someone else’s picture.
+ Echomunity
The whole participants of Objectif3280.
+ Generation
Pictures belonging to a same degree of relationship (posted in the same period of time).
There are 8 for this edition, and each picture can generate 3 echoes at the next generation.
+ Lineage
Chain of pictures leading to the selected picture. See « photopoem »
+ Perched on a branch with
Name of the short interview I have created to exchange with the participants of Objectif3280 if they wished:
- What is the role of photography in your life?
- What is the story of your picture?
- What kind of association of idea led you to this picture?
+ Photopoem
Objectif3280 has been compared to poetry several time. So I called photopoem each story or lineage created from my first picture. Each photopoem is composed of maximum 8 echoes, one for each generation.
