I chose to walk for a 1 km and show how the person becomes smaller with each passing time. In this busy chaotic life, we find few people we want forever in our lives, but destiny sometimes have other plans. I wanted to convey that by walking away from the camera and not looking back.
It was quite a task to film this and make it look as I want. I did not really realise how stretched 1km actually is until I deliberately made sure I walk exactly that even after the recording got stopped. I went at that exact same location twice but different days and by then the weather had changed. That made me realise how a person’s mood changes with their surrounding and how I felt two completely different emotions walking that same distance at the same place. This assignment has a very unique title- 1KM. My video does not necessarily show exactly what I wanted to but while working on it I have had unexpected realisations which made me learn more about life. (Helped me on a good cardio session too!)
I will attach a failed attempt in a different location because I am not afraid of failures.
title- I hate you?
PORTRAIT WORK
for that I have decided to start clicking pictures of what I ate in a day, compare how many meals I am having and try to bring out variety in it. It would also show how healthy/unhealthy the diet is. With this assignment I want to bring out a self reflection on my self.
PROPOSAL
An artist reference that inspires this idea is Sol LeWitt, who believed that in conceptual art the idea or system behind the artwork is the most important part. His approach to creating art through instructions and systems influenced how I designed my project.
Color Bands (Wadsworth Portfolio)
For my conceptual portrait, I will create a portrait of myself through the food I eat during one week. Instead of showing my physical appearance, the work will represent my daily life and habits through my meals and snacks. Food can reveal a lot about a person’s routine, culture, schedule, and lifestyle.
The system I will use is simple: I will take a photograph of every meal or snack I eat for seven days. Each photo will be taken from the same angle and arranged in chronological order. At the end of the week, I will present the images together in a grid or slideshow to show the pattern of what I consumed throughout the week.
This project connects to the ideas of conceptual art where the rule or system guides the work. The final collection of images will act as a portrait because it reflects my everyday choices and routine rather than my physical appearance.
This is from yesterday and I am going to continue this till next sunday.
