So, the more I travel, the more i notice little idiosyncricies about the people i travel with, as well as tourits in general. When doing a lot of traveling people seem to pick a form of memoriabilia best suited to themselves... and stick with it pretty consistantly, wether it be t-shirts, or post cards, or stamps. I'm personaly a big fan of magnets and wierd religious trinkets. Reading into what people pull near to them in the form of memoriabilia can say a lot about their character, or at least thier interests. The lady who chooses the sparkly, b-dazzled Roma t-shirt is a little different from the women who chooses a small statue of the pieta, or a man who buys a single post card of an obscure ancient fresco of the catacombs. I think it would be interesting to collect souvenier items (discarted, boughten, photographed, etc.) and create identities of people from them. This would connect with my previous work with voyerism, as I would like to keep that strange looking in on something you shouldn't be feel. I'm not sure wether I would do ttaht again through video, or some other form of art.... maybe just a series of portraits. (Perhaps mix work with Regan's class... staging and dressing up models/friends to fit into the identity I have decided belongs to each piece of memorabilia...) Now to collect and brainstorm more!
(P.S.- video from last project coming soon!)
