Task Two:Prompt
I and Jessie becomes a pair to do Task Two. I give Jessie a location named Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. I give this location is not only because of it one of the architectural glories of Melbourne, but it also has some special meaning for myself. It the first scenic spot I went when I came to Melbourne. I feel incredible of this beautiful architecture. I sometimes do the sketch in there. Jessie gives me the location is State Library of Victoria. I never go to this library before, even though I need to pass this building every time I go to RMIT. In my mind, a library should be light and quiet, nice and clean. Through my memory, state library has some sculpture outside, the building is all white, I guess in this building it also should be very light.
When I saw the exhibition in NGV about noticing, I felt extremely amazing. When I know Pound spends hours searching, sorting and buying prints and then he gives those pictures a theme. This process is “retaking “the pictures. I start to realize if I get a lot of pictures how can I start to give them a connection between each other, is there only one theme between those items? From Mason’s reading, we need to be listing, marking and recording stuff that interested you, and then start to make a connection between each item.
So, I list what I expect to see:
Books, Chairs, People, Bookstore, Lamp, Shelf, architectural structure.
Our formula is each 10 steps we take one picture until we think it enough for ourselves. I am kind of excited with this excited. Hope I can see something spacious!
