Ciao! Sorry it's been a long time, internet issues made last week posting not really feasible, but I'm back this week to get you all caught up. Our current project is to create a spectacle, and being in Italy, I've been intrigued with how they do laundry, leaving their clothes hanging in public view to dry. For my spectacle, I've decided to exaggerate this idea by placing my drying laundry in a very public place that does not have laundry hanging about.
I set up my laundry on our drying rack in Piazza della Signoria and took pictures and some film footage of it in relationship with the area around it, and/or people. Laura photographed me setting up the laundry and taking it down which got more attention from people than when we left it and watch it from a distance. I discovered that the laundry on its own... probably because it is pretty small in comparison to the Palazzo Vecchio (which was in the background) did not draw that much attention to it. However when I was interacting with it (hanging it up, moving it around, and photographing it) people noticed it much more.
Currently I am debating the best way to display the picture and/or video. I think that I will be printing out a series of photos (probably 5-7) that best embody the laundry in the public location, but I haven't entirely decided.
Oh... and on a completely different note, we went to the Alps this weekend and they are AMAZING!!!
