Louis Vuitton Advert...

A little cheesy...but i really like it. I like what the message it is trying to put across, the questions it puts into peoples minds - Does the person create the journey. Or does the journey Create the person.... i would say the journey creates the person :)

More Keys Work..

During our final Crit, Jo picked on an idea that i had already thought about doing, but didnt think this could count as a book. But apparently anything that flows or tells a story is a "book" - could really find a way of anything being a book i think? Thats art for you.




Next, to look at categorizing keys. I have split my answers of the question "if you had a key to anywhere where would it be to?" into two groups..Fantasy and Realistic.



This image shows categorizing keys.. i have split the keys into different types and seperated them with key rings.

Film - My Blueberry Nights.

Watched this film, and was very impressed to find the start of the film related to my project! What i found interesting when i collected the keys was the story behind them, where they have come from. Check this out...

Do you think he will pick up these keys?

I don't know, i have had customers leaving keys here for years, sometimes it days a few days sometimes weeks

What about most of the time

Most of the time they stay in the jar

Why do you keep them, you should just throw them out.

No, i couldn't do that

Why not

If i threw these keys away then those doors will be closed for ever, and that shouldn't be for me to decide should it

I guess i am just looking for a reason

Sometimes its better of not knowing, and sometimes there's a reason not to be found

Everything has a reason.

Can you tell me a story behind those set of keys.

What for?

Just wondered how they all ended up here.

Pick one...those belonged to a young couple a few years ago they were naive to believe they were going to spend the rest of their lives together.

What Happened.

Time happened. Things Happened.

Maybe one of them ran off with someone else.

Maybe the feelings just went Away.

What about these?

They belonged to a little old lady. Her friend was coming to visit. She never came. She was very old...

These keys used to belong to a young lad from manchester england who made plans... dreams to run every marathon...was going to make a journal of his experiences, but ended up running a cafe. The keys ended up with a russian girl who loved collecting keys and watching sunsets. Unfortunately she loved the sunsets more and the keys disappear.

--------------------------------------

It's uncanny! Its completely what the roots of my project is based on. And i love the quote that i have highlighted. The script may not be exact as it is just me jotting it down as i watch the film..
Recommended Film!

Just came across this on a website when looking for places to download music. I love the use of mixed media, its for electro music i think, it kind of has this sense or feel the the piece has lots of different images have been mixed together.
It sticks to a theme though, labrador. I like the composition, and the use of negative spacing.
