The first exercise I had chosen to do on the day was to
collect as many objects I can find along a journey from one point to another,
usually a route I take daily, and so I decided to choose a route where I will
walk from the studio as a starting point, into town (the mid-point of the
journey) and back to the studio where the walk will finish.
I began collecting objects from the studio first, mostly of
left over pieces of card or loose objects, until I reach towards town, where I
was unable to find objects lying around, and it appears that the only way I can
gather objects was to look into bins, which to be honest I do not want to look
into. Along the way back to the studio I had found some other objects, but the
overall amount I had found throughout the walk is not as much as I thought.
Examining these objects are mostly consists of litter and broken used items.
There is not a lot of variety among the collection I had gathered as most of it
is either junk or random pieces of litter. Overall this exercise is ok, but to
be honest I find it slightly boring and a bit easy to do, not that I hated it,
I had hoped to find more interesting objects during the task, but instead met a
pile of random litter.
The second exercise I chose to do was to document hidden
parts of a building and decided to focus on the small areas in the house I’m
currently living in. I had looked into areas that most people do not really pay
attention to, like the undersides of the sink, at the behind the furniture and
small gaps, i.e. corners and places that requires moving the object out of the
way to reach into.
Areas of hidden structures in the house that we don’t
really pay attention to. Using primary sources (photographs) to document and to
analyse what we had explored that will help our understandings and experiences.
