Details When producing a new series of artworks, how does the artist form an art concept?<br> In order to capture this formation process, we conducted a case study of a contempo<br>rary artist. We interviewed the artist about his creation process once per three weeks<br> for about ten months. During that period, in order to develop his art concept, the<br> artist first drew his ideas on paper and then took photographs to collect visual infor<br>mation. After these two phases, he began the hands-on creation of the artworks. As<br> he discovered the core part of his new art concept during the photography phase, we<br> analyzed the photographs and interview data collected during this phase. The results<br> show that the visual information collected through the photography led to his discovery<br> of sub-components of his art concept.
