Another Idea

After trying with the initial idea of an installation to do with war and conflict and disaster I decided that maybe it was a better idea to move on and get pictures of my own to put into an installation, also that way I might get some more inspiration for a creative installation.
Through another brain storm of idea's I came up with the idea of stalking and personal space. I am interested in following someone for the day and capturing every aspect of their day, from when they wake up until they go to bed. We never really know how people fill their whole day as it is never possible to do this. Previously in class time we looked at Yokomizo and the project titled 'Stranger'. Yokomizo wrote letters to people living in a street at told them that on a certain day she would be outside their window to take a picture of the inside of their front room, if they didn't mind their picture being taken they were to leave their curtains open, if not they were to close the curtains. This project really interests me and the pictures are very intriguing. The way in which she has captured the people shows their feelings and creates atmosphere in each of the pictures.











Along with Yokomizo, Edward Hopper also did the same sort of thing. His paintings are very intimate and they are quite like Yokomizo in that the interest the viewer and they seem like he is 'stalking' his subject as the pictures show such a high level of intimacy and they are in personal spaces.
