PROJECT: Foraging in Willesden, Postcards from a Competition
YEAR: 2007
TYPE: University Project
When tourists become lost, overwhelmed, tired, inspired, bored, enlightened, confronted, hungry, upset, tipsy, get cheated or fall in love, perceptions change and surprising associations and experiences come to light. In trying to figure out a city, they are primarily investingating themselves.
For this project students were asked to observe and record the similiarities and nuances in Swedish culture whilst on a field-trip to Stockholm. Sean decided the best way to do this would be to try and experience the city in 48 hours by documenting it, creating a visual diary without the use of computers. What this results in is the documentation of a 48-hour search for visual entertainment and the definition of the city visited.
