my work on post modernism (tariq ade)

3. The building that your seeing right now is
The Sony Building which resides in New
York City
It was formerly the AT&T Building
It was created by Phillip Johnson and was
completed in 1984
This building is postmodern because it uses
a open/broken pediment on top of it which
strongly resemble Thomas Chippendale’s
designs on bookcases and other cabinetry,
who made open pediment really popular.

4. As you can see both bookcase and
building have an open/broken
pediment similar to each other .

5. I
Now this building here is called The Parkview
square
It is a office building which is located in
Singapore
Construction started in 1999 and took 3 years
to complete
It was designed my American Consultant James
Adams
It cost 87.93 million dollars to built it
It’s postmodern because the open plaza of the
Parkview square is reminiscent of the Piazza
San Marco( St Mark’s Square) in Venice, Italy
which was built in the 15 century

8. Jay z & Kanye West- Otis
• The Hip Hop song by these artists Otis is
postmodern seeing how it has taken a verse
and instrumental from Otis Redding Soul song
Try a little tenderness and has used it at the
beginning of the there song. The have also
used the same organ and grand piano notes
that Otis Redding used for Try a little
tenderness and have incorporated there own
beat and style to it

10. George Michael-Freeek!
• George Michael song ‘freeeek’ is postmodern
• In the song he puts a spotlight on homosexuality and
the wild stories that are going around about their
sexual lives...chaos, protests from institutions.
• There is also futuristic elements in the music video
like cyborgs and state of the art technology with a lot
of sexually connotations.
• George Michael is postmodern with a lot of his song
for example in one of he song he thanks Tony Blair
and George Bush for the wars in Iraq

11. T.V ADVERTS

12. Lynx Excite
• The advert is postmodern seeing how its uses
religion with using angel falling out the sky
which could be described as “Fallen Angels”
• It uses music by The Fallen Angels called Sexy
boy which is a cover to a 1990 version to the
song
• It is set in Rome which is said to be a holy
place

14. The Premier inn advert
• This advert is postmodern as it uses Lenny
Henry to copy a popular scene from the movie
‘The Shinning’

17. Austin Powers
• Austin Powers is postmodern because it is a
mock Bond film that pays homage to the
popular culture of the swinging 60’s, British
invasion, and ridiculous spy flicks

19. Scream
• Scream is a postmodern slasher movie, where
the killer and his victims knowingly play out
the clichéd plots of classic horror films

20. TV PROGRAMMES

21. True Blood
• True blood is postmodern tv programme
because it about vampires who co-exist with
humans and who are now fighting for there
own rights to be able to vote and not to be
hated or slandered because of there “race”.

22. The Office
• It’s postmodern because it is mockumentary
on workplace psychology follows an useless
boss and awkward reality TV moments
