Myself and Claire decided that it would be a nice idea to spend the day gaining inspiration from the city through photography. We went out with the aim to 'notice the unnoticed' and 'appreciating what already exists'. As we have spoken a lot about how people in the city seem to only ever look straight forward (or at their mobiles), we decided to approach the day by looking both up and down, and seeing what treasures we would be able to stumble across. I also found some more interesting places to continue with the the photography concepts that myself and Kim had been looking at.
Whilst taking our photographs, it was apparent that our sub-consious was focusing on all things yellow. When you start noticing, it's really hard not to see the colour. It is everywhere. At bus stops, street signs, the tram and buses, lights, shop signs.. the list goes on.
We spoke in detail about the ways in which we may be able to collaborate, as we are both interested in keeping to the physicality process in this unit. Thinking about how we could display our photographs, we thought about possibly using the pieces as fabrics, or framed pieces. We also spoke about visually displaying our photographs- whether this be through projection, videos, or hanging. It was a really lovely day.
