Body object space project.







I have a few ideas for this project that i want to look into, the idea of when we go to a new place our senses become alert because it isnt the everyday to us, the norm, however to other people it is the everday. I am also interested in routine and everyday rituals, and the effects when these rituals become an obsesion. I would really like to contine to work and expreriment with video, scrutinising the everyday, perhaps using repetition as a device to show this. I would like to learn how to edit film pieces after camera recording. Other things i am thinking about are things such as the way we can make the every day, mundane things abnormal and unusual, looking at things with a fresh eye. I am going to look into ways of documenting everday objects in unusual ways. In Skye i was interested in journeys and the textural qualities of the surroundings, and the way our surrounding environment moulds our experiences.
I like the idea of passage ways and routes through a city or the countryside, and the effects when these passage ways or routes are invaded and obstructed. The idea of obstructing the rythmn of everday life. I would like to make an installation piece that the people entering the work are blindfolded so the just experience the work with their other senses.
I need to start trying out ideas, and making these ideas visual and tangeable and then narrowing or collating the ideas together.
