A self portrait photographic project with a twist. 365wordgirl invites you to enter random words (add yours as a comment to this post) thus forming the basis of 52 self portraits. Each portrait uses 7 words in the order entered. A journey of self discovery via the words of random people from all corners of the globe. The process of 365wordgirl is just as important as the finished project. This project and the body of work it encompasses, seeks to investigate causality, random connections, global social networking, arm’s length photography and new modes of self-portraiture.
- It will go for an entire year (and perhaps beyond!). Yeah that’s what 365 stands for ;]
- Each day will be assigned a word (these words come from comments on my blog), each week I will use these same words as the basis and theme of a self-portrait.
- The journey is totally unpredictable as all initial input (i.e. the daily words) into the project is via comments on my blog. Yes, that’s right, I need you to leave a word in the comment box (you can also say hi, if you like!)
- Each comment should include a word that I will then utilise in some way for my weekly self-portrait.
For example: Comments 1-7 will form the basis or ‘story’ for the first self-portrait, 8-14 for the 2nd and so on. After the 52 self-portraits are complete I hope to either exhibit them in an exhibition or publish them as a book. We will see. I am both nervous and excited by this concept. I mean it could totally fail or it could be lots of fun, who knows?!?! …..there lies the challenge. So 365 words, 52 self-portraits, 1 girl and you! I need YOUR imput…..
- Please leave any comments of encouragement and ideas, as well as your ‘word’ below….
(and be imaginative, swear words (even though I love to swear), just for the sake of it are….well, just a little boring really)
Arggghhhhh!! wish me luck!
