Today in class we presented our Project Brief 2 in class this week, we didn’t get to go through mine but i got to see majority of the classes work. It was really interesting to see how other people interpreted the assignment and the work they produced. Majority of the videos consisted of old infrastructure that was in use anymore, demonstrating the place’s lost of purpose, questioning it’s purpose as a place at all. It was interesting for people to capture places that may have come across asa “non-place” nonetheless they were still active. For example, Dusty’s film was set in a empty warehouse that seemed to no longer have it’s original use, nonetheless, the second day she went there was a knife stabbed into a cushion which wasn’t there the day before. Showing that the public, still had use of a place for this, especially the homeless, who had found a new “home”.

One of my favourite’s was Rose’s, I love how she questioned the meaning of specific places, she contrasted the action of one place on the set of polar place. Usually bathrooms are thought about to be unhygienic and private, and Rose had a young woman eating all sorts of food around the entire public bathroom, she was eating noodles on the toilet seat, lollies on the floor, and I was really grossed out by it. However, it did get me thinking about how a place can have it’s own specific meaning and certain things apply to certain places, I have always been told to not take my food into the bathroom, and to always make sure I’m very clean before I go to a restaurant, especially before I eat, and contrasting the specifics between the two sites was very interesting to observe.
