| Abstract | When I Get Out of Here is an in-depth guide to the thesis exhibition of the same title, When I Get Out of Here. The exhibition includes a collection of photographs of prison inmates representing themselves, a prison backdrop, a workout video made by an incarcerated personal trainer, a 16mm film documenting an exercise class in a Florida mineral spring, and a store bought green screen. This written thesis is also a guide to Prison Landscapes, a collection of over 150 images and 500 letters, which came out of correspondences initiated with American prisoners in January 2009. This guide explores escapism and idealism in prison, spa, and school cultures. It focuses on the backdrop as a landscape of escape. It looks at ways people escape through fantasy, illusion, creativity, performance, utility, exercise, eroticism, and myth. |
