Brainstorming

Confessions: I've wanted to do something like this for a while, and this may give me an excuse to actually execute it. Recently I've been noticing the writing on bathroom stalls. Random, I know. But they're always so unique. Some are sad, some are funny, and some are just simply incoherent. These people must want others to see what they have to say, but why a bathroom stall? Why not write a blog like this, or choose another form of expression? It seems private to scribble in small print in a confined space, and yet it's so public at the same time. If I choose to follow up with this project, I'd bring my camera with me to different bathrooms and take photos of all of the writings that stand out to me and then compile a small collection.

Sequence in Narratives: I love to bake and I've been reading a lot of food blogs lately, so it would be really fun to create one of my own. I could take photos to document the very start of the process to the end. I'd definitely look to stumbleupon for inspiration.

I could also take photos throughout my day and then lay them out in chronological order to show where I go. If I suddenly gain coordination it would be cool to take a different photo every few minutes while on a bike ride around IV/the beach.

Alternate Personas: I want to splice together two images of the same person making different facial expressions based on two different emotions they felt that day. I.e. smiling on the left side, crying on the right side. This could unveil people's outer facade to see what they're actually feeling rather than what they want the world to see.

Personal Space: This topic makes me think of performance rather than a tangible art piece. I have a few ideas, but one that seems doable would be to either be completely alone all day (which includes avoiding any phone or online conversations) and reflecting on what it was like. Or, to take the other approach, to be with someone all day and never get a single minute to myself. I'll have to find someone willing to help me out with this, but I want to experience the extremes of being in isolation versus being with others constantly.
