Development of Project Ideas

I really want to focus on the idea of alone-ness or loneliness in public space. I want to take pictures (carefully compositioned) of people who are on their own in public space. I think that in general alot of people associate public space as a place where there is a multitude of social activities, where one is always going somewhere or doing something, it is seen as a place where people gather and meet and come together, socialise. I guess I just want to highlight the people that are on their own, that there are people who don't use public space as a place to meet, but as a place to either be alone, or because they simply do not have anyone to meet with.

I want my work to become relational aswell as just photography. I want to approach these people who are on their own and ask them a set of questions (perhaps do a survey!?) about alone-ness and loneli-ness in public space, and what that means. I want to investigate the quieter, more over-looked part of public space, creating interaction and conversation with those who are alone in public space.

With the images and texts that I aquire I want to project these onto the facade of a building. This I would say is the tricky part at the moment I think. I need to think of the context I want these photos and text to be in, what is the question or critique I am making of that space? What is it that I am trying to say EXACTLY?

So what I really need to be thinking about is the questions for the survey, what information do I need? Once I know I will be able to craft my questions accordingly to get the inforation I want.

I also need to be thinking about the contexts and where I can display the works, on what buildings and why?
