Connections...

Thinking about windows as intervals of time...

SEQUENCES

Activities taking place, recording journeys or time

I have been documenting through photography, mark making and drawing...

A series of connections occurred when I was thinking about ways of developing the project...

1. THE ROAD. I found a series of photos quite interesting from my film camera, very boring, mundane. A A few are also in sequence, taken every five seconds, so each image is slightly different.

Currently reading On the Road

Images are of THE ROAD, or taken from it.

Readings from CP lectures...

'THE ROAD- all people intersect at one spatial and temporal point'

'THE ROAD is familiar' 

'Time, as it were, fuses together with space and flows in it (forming the road)'

'The road is a particularly good place for encounters'

- The Dialogue Imagination, Mikhail Bakhtin

2. MAPS maps plot where we are; use this a way of understanding/investigating the every day...

Thinking about mapping, translating and obscuring the everyday,

Maybe working with photos, hiding and unpicking visual aspects...

Mapping colour- drawing colour/ feeling, to gain a sense of place...

GRIDED PAPER (maps) show time and space- maybe abandon grided paper, or use it in an unusual way, create own grids?

Also had a little inspiration from Tony Ratcliffe's exhibition in Special Collections; books of maps, looking at geography and location...

Can I use the road, and make it unfamiliar, UNHEIMLICH? ...Can I capture windows of time and the everyday from the road? Maps show and guide us through roads and spaces, so I need to thinking about combining the two to make some very interesting MAPS.
