conversing with Isolda

Concluded with possible ways to take my project.

Hiding away stuff- objects representing temporary situations. We have the skill to forget and move on. Except the object is still the same, but we can perceive it in a different way.

An objects life span; the order is how we have established its life to be. Is the objects life over because its old? out of fashion? broken? deteriorating? 

Broken, break object on purpose and see what it reveals? The object doesn't need to be 3d it could be a graphic piece, guessing what could be inside. It could be metaphorical, relate to exposure and how an open wound feels like exposure.

Do we like to have order in our lives to have control?

Since we were born we have lived through an established type of order.

Labels in ordering? Everything around us has a name. Different meanings for particular words.

Dance; breaking free from order, to feel visible and feel important boosting confidence. Break the mould. ( I am afraid of my 

What can bring freedom of order?

A tool for control. There are christmas songs everywhere that we are forced to listen to.

What are the aspects of freedom dance? - tactile - patterns- language established within dance.

Creating a path of destruction

Experiments

*A room that once stepped into changes the structure of the music and causes disorder. It could be a good thing or a bad thing. (create many objects, sites or situations where something is in order but changes once something is implemented).

*A space that controls the way you behave. It moves you around in the space.

*Create a space for different people to live in for a certain amount of time, and catalogue what they do in the space. Order it? work in it? Looking at peoples behavior within a space. Spacial order.

*OCD, is it a fashion?

*Joseph Cornell; perhaps order brings uncanny things?
"He kept a record of everything he though, saw or felt in his dossiers, those files that he meticulously stored, classified and returned throughout his career".
Spend a week recording everything?

*Document the order of my room, I don't  always like being in the same order, so i often change it around. Such as the positioning of my bed.

*Catalogue visuals within order.
