im looking at this collection in compare sent with not only the video side to this project but also the professional project to look at different ways in which to exhibition work.
this project is done by using video insulation . This I think is a really expressive way to show work and gives a deeper feeling I think because you feel like you can connect more with the moving image in a way in which almost leads you into the screen . 
This I think works really well with this project drawing you into the emotion of these already deep images.
I also really like this work and the creative way in which he has managed to show the individual elements and also link this with suffering and redemption of religious martyrdom . I feel that this is shown in not only a powerful way with out pushing the religious side of the images in a way that would inflict for or against people religious beliefs. 

I love the way these  images are constructed with the lighting for each image drawing you into the emotion of each individual one. for example the image in which the man is buried the lighting on the has darker shadows but still gives enough light to focus on the main point of focus the man. 
I especially like the image on the man hanging by his legs with wrists bound. this I think push's the feeling of a religious image more than the others with it to me looking like a sacrifice , almost like Jesus on the cross and other religious images you see printed on large pains in church.

overall I really love the power in this study and I think the way in which it is shown using video insulation which I think would attract more ppl to see this because its something different which people in today world are looking for .  I think that I would like to use something along these line to show my own work but  I would also like to use sound to draw people attention into my work more.
