OBSERVATION AND FOCUS

I want to make more stories with the method I used last year with the JOURNEY TO FUJI and ZOOLOGY ILLUSTRATION (described below). I want to make more stories using a combination of the fictional and factual. A second aspect of my research is, what is the best way to display all the pieces together? and how do they relate with each other?

Forget that second part of my research, what is the best way to display all of them? What is ALL?

I took a step back an noticed a few things of my own proposal. Stories is such a big word, what are they then? What are my guidelines to create these stories? What is the motivation? It’s too early to think about the display, if I don’t even know what to display. Here are some sharp details that I notices in the last projects.


For each project I use a different method to create a story.

  1. THE JOURNEY TO FUJI: based on a symbol I created a history around it. Totally fictional.
  2. ZOOLOGY ILLUSTRATION: based on a form (encyclopaedia) I created a story with fictional and factional material in an installation. (not really a story?)
  3. ZHUANGZI: based on an original story I used it as a placeholder to created different versions.
  4. SKY HAPPENINGS: based on found footage and making a compilation with both topics, they create an dialogue. (also not really a story?)


All these different project/stories have a different motivation and goal. Like using symbols, I created history for something you take for granted. By the encyclopaedia, I change the few how we look at history or categorization. So each method has a different goal. So which method, which goal?

I really like the romantic and poetic feel of THE JOURNEY TO FUJI story, and would like to continue with this method. Choose a symbol and make a history around it in any kind of form of story. I going to try to write in different kind of technique of storytelling. And I’m going to experiment with how do I display the stories, do I show the symbol, just like THE JOURNEY TO FUJI, or more a metaphoric?


PLAN

Search a symbol
Search any kind of background or something what connects to the symbol
Make a story (try different way to tell it)
Find a way to display it


Maybe in the end if I have multiple stories I can think of one display to show them all together, but only if it needed. I mean, what is the strength of showing them all together and not as a single pieces?
