Lesson 2

Ritual-
  • Repeatition
  • Meaning to you
  • Must "Avoid describing and try to interpret/explore"
  • Look into everyday= a common place

3 Potential Directions/ Qualify as rituals/ connect with everyday

  • Idea of clothes washing- obviously have to wash clothes previously worn generally happens once a week- it is a repeating event in my life no matter what or where i am.
  • Vege Market- i go there every saturday to get fresh fruit and vege for the week ahead- provides me with food/nutrition for the week ahead

Subject Matter-

Difficulties-

Both the vege market and washing only happens once a week and therefore i would have to wait for these rituals to happen and wouldn't be able to photographs these events whenever i wanted.

Approaching each topic-

  • For the vege market i would photograph this ritual including the people that run and sell produce there, the people that consume and buy there product and would also photograph the product itself
  • For the washing ritual i would photograph the ritual by photographing the process, eg. washing on floor, washing in basket, washing in machine, washing on washing horse and lastly washing being folded/ in a pile maybe put away?
