Tate Modern

When I visited the Tate Modern Art Gallery in London I saw many different pieces of work displayed in so many different styles.
It was hard to find some good exmples of what I wanted to see - narrative.
There wasnt really much that I could find.
Many of the pieces of art there were sculptures, which was not what I was looking out to see.
However there were some. This is one of them.

It is called 'Venus Rags' by Michelangelo Pistoletto. I find this photo really exciting. And I feel that this does contain elements of narrative. Venus is the Roman goddess of love, beauty and fertility. This is very strange because of this. She is standing in front of a large pile of rags. Why? Her face is hidden. Why? This poses so many questions in the mind; Pistoletto had been very clever when creating this masterpiece. I enjoyed looking at this photo very much.

From looking at examples of other photographers works, and looking at the Tate Modern artwork I will be able to create some good narrative photography examples.
