Explanation of work for exhibition (movie song choice, narrative of series, what each work depicts/expresses from the music)
- Song: Gangsta by Kahlani from the Suicide Squad movie soundtrack
- Narrative of series: A visual timeline of the Joker's and Harley Quinn's relationship, showing the stages, how they interact with each other and influence each other. My series shows the process of how they love each other and develop as a couple while facing the world.
- Each work depicts/expresses from the music:
- First Work: This piece is an introduction of the Joker's and Harley Quinn's relationship starting from a professional relationship to a forbidden love. I showed this juxtaposition of the two stages in a subtle playing card format with the professional relationship at the top of the piece and the love interest upside down. The professional relationship is the right way up to communicate that this should be the way their relationship should be and the upside down stage communicates that their relationship shouldn't be.
Second Work: The second work in the series depicts another stage of their dysfunctional relationship. Harley Quinn is getting electric shocked by the Joker and is the reality of the start of their relationship. The bottom half of the work is the Joker and Harley Quinn in their traditional costumes dancing together. This is what Harley wants their relationship to be and maybe how she views it now. In the original series Harley's character was introduced as a narrative of abusive relationships. This physical abuse from the Joker and the reflected traditional costuming introduces this underlying theme of abuse Harley suffers at the hand of the Joker although she doesn't view their relationship in that way.
Third Work: In the third piece we see the Joker's and Harley Quinn's relationship as of now. They both are at their "most insane" moment but are happy about it. Keeping to the playing card format, they are morphed into one being with the Joker on top and Harley Quinn at the bottom. This shows they have a very strong connection to each other however the Joker being at the top shows his influence over Harley Quinn and also his dominance. One of the Joker's hand is clutching Harley Quinn's arm showing his abusive side in the relationship but also his desperation to keep her in his life.
