A multi-medium installation involving a Documentary & Interactive Art.
It focuses on nostalgia, and how we are connected to the world through our senses. We capture memories by how we interact with the world, and we like to remember these moments through smells, sounds, visuals etc. The smell of sunday dinner can remind someone of Christmas, a sound of a bird tweeting outside can remind someone of Spring, a picture can hold so much information.

"The film shows our bodily connection to our surrounding and how we connect. We find ourselves attached to sounds, music, taste, sight & even touch in memories and I am facinated by this. We live our lives through the stuff that surrounds us and it shapes & influences us on a daily basis.
It's a film about nostalgia but its also a delve into our relationship with the world. Kind of is like the relationship between us and nature.
Would be interesting to interview lots of people but a conversation between just a few, maybe couples for contradiction.
Visualise it with images, objects, video, associations etc. "

This will be accompanied by placed installations through the room as the film is being screened on a loop at the end. I want to focus on each sense, gaining an idea through my film as to what works the best to create a sensory experience. Smells, Tastes, Touches, Sights & Sounds will be shown so people can interact with it and hopefully have their own experiences with their mind.


Even though i'm skeptical about installation, I was thinking about the film element first, and then it's an extension of the concept. I would still have a piece of work at the end of it that wasn't just available in a gallery.
