Ideas for Project

Street Photography
- Taking photographs of people who are alone
- Photographs of the city at night and day as a comparison
- Taking photos of the inside of windows (Inside Windows series)

Psychogeography and Relational documentary work
- The idea of a space and how this effects people's emotional behaviour
I want to film/document an interview with people around certain areas. I want to accompany the documented work with either film or text (or whatever it may be) and display it on the facade of a building/the area in which they live, by projection.

- I want to have a relational aspect to this project.I want to come into contact with people and get some responces either by emails, letters, interviews surveys etc. I will have a set of questions about their area and what they think of it, what they would like to see happening, how they feel about certain things, their history/background/why they are living there etc. (Think of appropriate questions basically!)

- By displaying the images and/or texts on the facades of the buildings, it is exposing what is on the inside.What those individuals think of their area/situation. It is their voices publicly being heard. It's making the emotional behaviour of the person that lives inside be seen. It is about how they see their environment and act to it and it provokes people to think about theirs.

Being silent is not to exist
-Another idea I have is to create a seperate environment from the busy atmosphere of everyday life, people rushing to and from work, becoming so familiar with it that they do not stop to observe their surroundings. There is so much noise, that when everything is silent, it seems like we do not exist. I want to create a place for silence, reflection, thinking. I want the noise of the world to be excluded so that the person can think for themselves. Finding autonomy through silence and not noise. But how do I go about this?????
