I am going to try to figure out how long people take to get ready to go out by photographing the contents of their shower and the styling products/makeup they use. If at all possible, which it will not be easy to access, I will attempt to sneak into their bedrooms and photograph their closets to see how many clothes they have. I will have to use subjects I am already friends with in order to first get into the apartment and then the bathroom. This is another reason it is very important nobody outside of the class knows of the project because if people know I did this I could lose friends over it.

Project proposal
My project is a combination of a re-enactment of Sophie Calle's project and the Do you wear your heart on your sleeve project. As I realize that this is a public forum, I would like to insist that the details of my project not be discussed with anybody out side of the class because if everybody knew what my project was there would be no way I could get this project done.

Nathan,
ReplyDeleteThis idea sounds great. Do you have an image to go with it?
What do you intend to photograph: their showers or their closets?
If you are feeling wary about sneaking into people's rooms, you should fee free to tweak the "voyeurism" aspect by simply asking people for permission to photograph. Then you can base your conjectures from that. Voyeurism or following doesn't always have to be done in secret, it is simply about the act of watching, whether it is known or unknown.
It sounds good because, i no it takes some people forever to get ready for a party so i would like to follow up on your project.
ReplyDeleteSounds good. Very interesting actually. Getting into the whole shower aspect is awesome and original. Look forward to it.
