Discovery

Travel/The world

Self Discovery

Angles/ Perspective

Countries Ideas: It could be about the experiences you gain from travelling, the knowledge and how much it helps you understand. Showing this on an image could be hard.

Maps Ideas: Like Sohei Nishino but with key as aspects of the countries and views and events make up the map.

Or the map could be of England and the images that make up the photomontage could be personal to me. The different place my family live, the areas I‘ve travelled to and what happened there. What I think is important in those parts, the more important the bigger they will be.

TransportIdeas: Build a structure out of everyday objects or items that are to do with travel, the typical suitcases etc. When you shine a light on it the shadow will look like a vehicle.

Or I could build the world out of flags. Make it our of tissue paper shine a light through it to project the image onto a white wall.

EmotionsIdeas: Emotions control us so much. They control the way we act, the way we look and the way we think. We are basically a puppet. This is my image idea, a person being controlled by emotions. Have each emotion dressed in human form controlling the strings at the top. Or the puppet could get attack by smoke, each stream of smoke will be the colour that is related to that emotion.

Dream vs. RealityThe real world vs. the world we want. Ideas: Reflection, a mirror or maybe even a window. The reflection will be the life you want. There could be three reflections. Of poverty wanting working/middle class lives and working/middle class wanting to be upper. To show that we are never happy with what we have.

Or a shop window but instead of advertising items like clothes or houses they are selling lives and dreams. Window shopping seems harmless but its why we do it. We want to look and imagine us with those items but we can’t afford them. We want to be able to, we want the life that comes with the object.

BeautyIdea: A moth disguised as a butterfly but the paint/makeup is melting off, smudging and running off. The reality that beauty only lasts so long. Maybe even show a bit of staining, to show that covering up leaves more marks.

Angles – how angles can change the way you see and think about an object. I don’t know what object will work with this so I will have to experiment on which items work best.

Theses faces in the smoke

The puppet won’t look this scary but it will be a dark image.

It’ll probably look most like this one

I could add the personal touches by using multi media. Paint and scrape in buildings and people that mean a lot to me in those certain areas.

Landmarks and places I know will be added, the more important they are the bigger they will be.

Designs that have meaning will fill in space I know little about. Or loads of little pictures of people because they are what covers most of the land

The concept is that the woman in the image is shopping for the life she wants. We believe that money will give us happiness and that all our problems can be bought away. Humans are never happy and are always wanting more, out of jealousy, ambition and need.

The reflection will be edited. The reflection of the human will be real but the rest will be edited to make it look like the life they want.

Or the reflection could be left, if the window display is right.Some displays are scenes, living rooms, halls, parties etc. So the reflection of the person would place them into that scene. They can replace the mannequin, This will be best if the mannequin doesn’t have a head but it could with one.

The colour will melt or if I decided to have the butterfly as a costume instead of make-up, the exterior of the costume will crumble off revealing the moth underneath it.
