Project 3: Proposal 2: The Culture of Paths
For the following, all uses of “paths” is to imply walkways, streets, hallways, etc.
My project is centralized on walkways and streets. The focus is on the characteristics of the paths and their implied locations. There was no special care taken relative to colors, as the photos are to be drained of color appropriately. Most shots, structurally, seek out the elongated shape of the path or the inherent pattern.
My project is on the culture of paths, that is, how paths paint the world in which we live. In other words, imagine a beautiful statue situated in a swamp. Would you go to see that statue, knowing you would need to traverse the swamp first? The swamp, changed the experience of seeing the statue, that is, the experience of reaching the statue was considered along with the experience of the statue itself. If the experience of the location is altered by the locations traversed to reach that location, what does the traversal say? What language is used? When was the statement made, and why is it still being said?
