PERMANENT, BUT TEMPORARY
Exploring the dynamic polarity of the home through analogue processes and a X page zine.
This project was inspired by my own complex relationship to the home: shared between three countires and multiple locations and people.
Home is not just a building. It’s our feelings, emotions and individual stories that ultimately combine to create what I would call home. The title ‘Permanent, but Temporary’ refers to the constant change that can come with the home, physically, but will permanently be with us throughout our lives, emotionally.
This project is compiled of two rolls of 120mm film shot on a Mamiya RB67 with the film wound halfway between each shot allowing the photographs to overlap one another, creating a double exposure style of imagery. This manipulation of the camera aims to replicate the memory, a mental image of a place; an attempt at visualising this feeling of nostalgia and tranquillity bound to the home through long reels of dream-like imagery.The overlapping effect symbolises the dynamic polarity between these two aspects of home, the permanent and the temporary.
