600 People: Revisited.

Continued from 600 People.

The Brief.

600 People Revisit the performance and select 4
new narratives to work with, again avoid using
drawing a method to complete final outcomes, use
a range of media include print based methods.
Agreed outcome: A set of 4 posters each
exploring a theme discussed during the
performance or a triptych which selects one
narrative to work sequentially across
three posters.
Research& Development: All visual research
should be presented on the SHU blog. All
development should be presented with final
submission.

So the triptych is a classic three part picture often telling a story across the three sections. The idea dates back to early religious art works and was often used as an alter piece. The central panel is usually the largest, with the side panels being of the size of the central panel and hinged at one edge so that they can be "closed" over the the central panel.

Lamentation Triptych

In more contemporary times the triptych, especially photographic ones,  tend to take the  form of  either three separate images with a common theme, the same image with variations or a single image split into three.

Francis Bacon triptych of Lucien Freud 1964

Personally I feel that the triptych lends itself to a three or maybe  four or five part narrative  depending on the layout of the final outcome, almost like a short comic strip or even a continuous work like the Bayeux Tapestry.
