THE PLATFORM

2021


I tried recreating stills from the low-budget Netflix Spanish thriller show, The Platform. Using a DIVA lite lighting kit and a Canon 5D with 18 and 35mm lens, I took the following pictures with a little twist. The most interesting one to recreate was the second image. With still shots refined in Lightroom, I composed them in Photoshop so that two of the same person can exist in a single space at the same time. The idea behind this mini project was to convey how stifling it has been for university students like my friends and I to have all our entertainment, work, and communication channels online. With our eyes greatly strained, not only has our enthusiasm towards learning greatly decreased, we have also all felt void of life/empty/trapped, like the main character in The Platform. I felt especially so being a senior international student with woes about employment, school, housing, and vaccination travel constantly in mind.
