I have been working hard for my project, I developed my films from the shoot at your house the other day, and I feel that they have turned out quite well. also I had a presentation last week to be put with a design partner, with who I'm going to be working with to design my book. This was pretty helpful as it made me think about and narrow down what my idea ACTUALLY is.
This is the long and short of what my idea is:
My project is looking atthe concept of 'the home'. I want to see how you can make a portrait of someone just using their surroundings and objects to describe them. I'm focusing on my own family and all of our separate homes. I'm interested in the sets of objects and specific areas of the home, ones that we can all recognise from our own homes. In this project I want to discuss the break up of my family and how we all used to live togehther in one house, with one set of objects like plates, bath towels and bed sheets, etc..But now since my family has moved on and joined with other people , these sets of simple things you find have mulitplied with the paths we have taken and the lifestlyes we lead.
I have chosen five specific areas within each home that I feel sum up what the home is and the roles within it. These are the kitchen sink, the dining table, the bath, the washing line and the bed. Within these areas I have selected individual items that further signify the idea of 'the home'. These objects are innamanate and have no personal link to my family, but I have asked my family members to write personal memories on these that are brought up by the type of object or within the area it is placed. I hope this can help the viewer understand something about my family and the individual personalities through looking at the places in the home and reading what they have written.
These images are some of the ones from Dad's house and Vic's.
Lots of love
