I've been seeing a lot of design that I've enjoyed recently, the work isn't necessarily relevant to any projects in 603 but could help me think about new ways of thinking as a designer. I'm wanting to blog about these things I've found to get into habits of collecting information.
SMALL WORLD:
https://www.atlasofplaces.com/photography/small-world/Small World is a biting satire in which Parr observes global tourism and the search for authentic cultures the tourist’s quest has helped to destroy. It explores the difference between the reality and mythology of a tourist honey pot. The original edition of this book was published by Dewi Lewis in 1995, with a second edition in 2007 containing 70 colour photographs.
Part of the reason why I like this project so much is because I have felt this experience in real life, the content to me is very relatable because I've both participated in and seen the behaviour depicted in these images but it's very entertaining to see a project that embodies this.
- humourous
- playful
- bright
- nostalgic
- real
ABC DAYS:
A project inviting twenty-nine international artists to produce one book each to be published between June and July 2020. The result is an archive made by artists - sometimes in quarantine - during a remarkable period encompassing the Covid-19 outbreak and worldwide protests against racism and police brutality.
I love this project, the range within the books is so interesting especially since the format is the same. I think the idea is great, something I'd love to do with my peers.
It was interesting to see how and if people responded to the happenings that were taking place in the world during this time.
- collecting
- documenting
- form & function
