IDEA1
After digesting the thinking process of Florent Tanet, I am inspired to try thinking in the way she thinks and look at things around me in a different perspective for once. I tried. playing around with stuff I see around me in the living room. I tried putting different stuff together and make them look beautiful. I edited them and colour graded them to a point where I think they look appealing.
I started off by placing different stuff I find beautiful together. The process went on by leaning to the direction of placing weird stuff that has no relation with each other together to create a weird composition.
The idea comes from the abrupt nature of Covid-19 coming all of a sudden. Placing non related stuff next to each other to create a weirdness and an out of place feeling. Forcing stuff together like how we are forced to cope with the pandemic.
Possible developments
- finding random stuff from indoors, not necessarily my home
- restricted indoor activities in HK
- ref: HK is restricting eating ins until 6pm
- a tiny zine, all black and white with random photos
- typesetting: centred, boxed?
- pocket size: hand sanitisers, something daily
- black and white: colourless times with no human interactions
- phone taken: most accessible
- make it an ongoing project until the end of February
- gather weird pictures for the zine
