MarusaNotes
Test for powerpoint:
Mr Tunnel is a series of exercises with different methods (drawing, Photography psychogeographical maps, diary ) to understand my surroundings, to find a way to connect to the city of Rotterdam. It maps a daily journey from one side of the river to the other. Outcome: a human-sized installation that reflects these experiences and communicates them to others.
Achievable aims for next week Psychogeographical map of housemates. Record chat with them about what makes home for them. Sit in Mass tunnel and 'be' mr tunnel.
Steve's commission: make drawings of the things you encounter; people you meet (who you can't photography).
[place this in proposal:
Method: Map from home to school.
I took my house mates on a walk on a sunny day . I explained psychgeography to them and handed them a camera. I asked them to capture the atmosphere of the street. Use the medium freely. Take a photo of something you find interesting. The we go to Maastunnel but how you choose the route is up to you. The group made 500 photos. I opted them into categories and printed them out. I then began to arrange them, ripping them up, visually creating a softer feel. I made connections with the string charting the route I take from my house to the tunnel.
I started to get lost in the map as it became more complex. I printed it twice so that the same material can be arranged differently by the group I commissioned to take the photographs.
Motivation: I feel detached from the streets I travel through daily, nothing excites or interests me, a pile of inert objects that get in my way. The maps are a way of connecting with the streets of Rotterdam and finding methods to make connections. .
Also:
Abstractly showing the chairs perspective. I have a smoke machine. Steve commissions to continue with the 'smoke aquarium' piece (it all relates to M. mapping the area and trying to find ways of relating to the Rotterdam.)Making a relation to place and to people. I want to make a place where people can relate so they are part of the space.
the map currently stops at **
There are free sections; the Maastunner the weather street (want to make intervention). Which colour yellow is the sun for you? making ways to encounter strangers.
