We were asked to 'make or gather imagery that describes our world.' From the material we gather we were asked to isolate our primary needs for survival.
It was to be imagery that describes my world, particularly relevant to myself. An attempt to try and capture everything.
It took me a long time to get into this project as it is so open. I didn't have a clue where to begin or what to focus on etc.
I started to think about my universe and how it can be broken down. I split it into my general universe and my personal universe. General was all about science, language, cultures etc and personal was about myself. 'Myself' was split into mental and physical which was then broken down again and again etc. From these I came up with my personal primary needs for survival. My first thoughts were.. laughing, mobility, remembering things, travel, question, communicate, loud and quiet, escape, record, fun, positive interactions. Then from these I came up with:
-Escapism. Need to escape everyday life- travel, dreams (when sleeping,) watching (people/cities at night/sky etc,) loud and positive atmospheres, being on my own, laughing.
-Memory. Need to remember- memories, reminders, calendars, photos, drawings, write, record, videos, people etc.
-Experiences. Need to experience- going places, traveling, trying new things, seeing anything and everything, doing anything.
I got a collection of photos which describe some of my universe and needs to show in our group talk as visual imagery.
I also thought about the human body as an object. How we 'charge' ourselves up etc, our equivalents.
