Tom's proposal for a project that may or may not be made

Rhythms in Rotterdam

What: An immersive installation and environmental study of the city of Rotterdam. The work is composed by a series of video portraits (moving photographs) arranged around a room, exploring the intersection of photography, motion and personal exploration. The experience is also further enhanced by sound and lighting, aiming to offer audiences a multi-sensory experience of Rotterdam’s environment.

Why: Having recently moved to Rotterdam, the creation of this work would allow me a process to become intimate with my newfound home. It represents a personal and intentional act to more deeply engage with the city, capturing its spirit and unraveling its stories.

How: The work will be be filmed over an extended period of time and evolve organically as I explore the environment and collate footage. I will travel across the city with my camera to a variety of environments, not only documenting physical spaces but also the people who inhabit them. The intention is to creative a visual narrative which reflects my personal exploration, as well as a snapshot of Rotterdam’s dynamic energy.

Notes BY DO

I think it's a really interesting idea to capture your own journey of becoming a 'ROTTERDAMMER' while you're also discovering the city. The form of 'how' this film will look and feel isn't very clear for me yet, but I don't know if that's your intention, or if you simply don't know it yet. In the 'what' it feels like a photo series but in the how it feels more like a documentary maybe it's cool to combine? :D.

Documentary I say because you're talking about the people who inhabit with the physical spaces, not that that necessarily needs to be a documentary, but in feels a bit like it is going to be.

soooooo yeaaahhhhhh i like it a lot bruhhh but I wanna know MORE <3__<3
