Emily - Brief 3

EXAGGERATE AN EXPERIENCE IN YOUR HOME

The aim of this project was to research and examine the experiences in my home. To discover what aspects of my home I have found to be the most important and meaningful.

The process began with researching artists for inspiration, more specifically Sophie Calle and her 'Hotel' series...

Through the Hotel series, Calle captures everyday objects in a way in which makes them seem as though they have a story behind them, that there is something more interesting to them than first thought. 

I chose photography as the way in which to capture aspects of my home. Rather than taking a photo of the spaces as a whole, I decided to zoom in on the details of each room. To further exaggerate the experience, a sound recording for the objects in each photo was created. This was done as a way of bringing the photos to life. 


I began capturing objects in my bedroom, the place I spend most of my time, then ventured to other spaces in my home. I chose my kitchen as another space I spend a lot of time, as well as the backyard and laundry.

I decided to represent all four of the spaces in a small zine format, as a keepsake of sorts to look through in detail. For the two spaces which felt most important, I also chose to represent them through a soundscape accompanying the photographs; to further emphasize the experience of each item in my home.
