Phase 1

Feb 25

Today was all about depression, being sick, heartbroken…and research. I find dark time is perfect for just looking things and then digest them slowly. Maybe because I feel so empty and weak now that I really need something to fill me up… I feel like I am now dissolving into things that I’ve read, maybe this could be an idea of the concept of “dissolving boundaries”.

People, feelings, emotions, talk, pain, cold, articles…things are messed up. The boundaries are breaking, dissolving and disappearing, the chao has been created and growing madly. I find it is a quite abstract concept to be worked on, but it is still a unique topic that carries strong emotions. I haven’t developed into some specific ideas about my first outcome. It could be quite negative and carry some subtle emotions.

I struggled to get up and go to school today. For the first outcome I don’t want to go really deep into those psychologic things that could drive me crazy. I’m thinking of presenting my idea of “dissolving boundaries” through the book forms. My initial idea is pulling holes to make readers parts of the book. I also did some research on camouflage as what Hannah told me. I like the way animals and people hide into the background in order to stay safe and be visible through camouflage. I then think about make a camouflage book to suggest “dissolving boundary”.

I was thinking of taking a picture of one location and print it into pages of the book, so the book would “dissolve” into where it is situated. But I then find it’s just like a fine art work and I don’t care about how it could be communicated. So I come back to my initial ideas of “holes” and start to think about using acetates to achieve the “dissolving effect”.
