How i see the world – Research

4D project 01 – Using my concerns in life to explore and develop a body of work.

Something that is meaningful to me, how i see the world. This is funny since i have never actually given a thought about something that actually bothers me. I would actually be intrigued by something rather than to be bothered by it. I would always like to dwell on the darker side of life. Perhaps one of my biggest concern would be wanting to be free from my thoughts. But i guess different people have different ways of defining what is being free. Be it away from the digital world, out in the woods enjoying nature.

So i thought that maybe i could work on something that represent the word free through my memories. The realm between reality and dream. I have also been thinking about how colours actually affect our thought. How specific colours create different emotion in us. So i went and search for the colour(s) that represent the word free. The colours that came up was blue and green. Perhaps its like the vastness of the sky, sea and nature.

The first thing that came into mind when i think about a way to show the realm between reality and dream is through double exposure. I have always like double exposure photography as it gives off a dreamy feeling. I have tried playing with exposure myself with film cameras. I just love how the photos feel like a memory. The way he expresses it with the person and the environment.

I also like the photos taken by Sara K Bryne. Her double exposure photos gives off a different feeling. It shows a world inside someone instead of a world with someone.

There was another way of art that i found interesting. It was drawing illustrations on a photograph. It is like a way of showing a world that is your own reality. It could be a input or a world that you could imagine from that time and moment.

I am still thinking of the way of showing the end product. Should it be a series of photos that tells a story or a film that brings people through a journey? Should there be a main subject where they take a journey to finding the meaning of being free? Or it is a view of many different people representing the meaning on being free? On to more brain storming, in search of freedom.
