Proposal for Project #2
February 11, 2010
We just talked about our proposal’s and my idea changed so I’m going to rephrase and explain it a little better:
Idea #1:
I would like to take pictures of subjects that will only take up a small portion of the frame; a small silhouette against a plain background, a goldfish in the middle of water without clutter behind it, a hand with nothing else around it etc. Then I want to take transparencies and handwrite narratives on them; possibly famous flash fictions (stories told in 100 words or less). And then to embellish these narratives with doodle-like drawings around it that have to do with the narrative.
The closest thing I could find to resemble what I’m imagining is a computer graphics image:
Idea #2: If Idea #1 looks really bad…
I will use my trusty label-maker to label people; but not how you would ordinarily expect. Not labeling them as man, woman, black, white, age, democrat, republican, anarchist, Christian, scientologist etc. but instead “ear, nose, mouth, feet.” Etc. Labeling people in the most basic sense, because then we are all (essentially) the same.
