Individual or object's histories and experiences being revealed, hidden or distorted (looking at remnants, traces, memories as ways to explore this)
Dichotomies or opposites e.g. noticed vs. unnoticed, reality vs. expectation, sense vs. nonsense, intentional vs. accidental, revealed vs. hidden... thinking about what these reveal about our experiences, how we position ourselves in our surroundings and in relation to others.
Notion of time- consumed, recorded, remembered (cyclical). Time passing- relating to memory and becoming part of our personal experience.
Objectives...
Relate these ideas to me personally as an identical twin. Think about differences/similarities, other people's expectations- double take etc.
Look at fictional books- in relation to ideas if reality/expectations/perceptions. Story telling: records experiences but also has potential to change them blurring the line between reality and imagination; also in relation to childhood and therefore our pasts'.
Fables or pourquoi stories (eg Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories and Aesop's Fables) both because they were a part of my childhood and because of how they use story telling (explaining why something is how it is or using stories to teach morals).
Process Development...
Balance collaborative work with my sister and individual work. Possibly use film/photography/sound to try something new - especially because of their ability to record what can be perceived as "reality". (distort? play with expectations etc.)
Also continue to experiment with materials- perhaps by playing with our perceptions and expectations of their physicality by altering them (e.g. fabric soaked in glue becomes stronger, moves differently etc. but still looks like fabric.)
