HOW IT WORKS!

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!

    Hey Mel , I have loved this whole project and once i started thinking of words its hard to stop. So i had the whole Egypt thing on my mind with words such as camel, this could be one of two things cause some guys wanted to trade my sister for 1000 camels or the guide who thought it was funny to try and trade me for half a camel cigarette. Than there are the obvious of Egypt – The Sand cause its every where, Pyramids well everyone knows the pyramids, Heat cause it was about a pleasant 44 whilst i was there, Sphinx and bus cause they are every where when you get to the “tourist” sites some how when ended up with the bus that had no suspension and had dropped its muffler into about day 3 of the 3 week tour made for a comfortable quite trip to and from. Hawker – this guys dont actually leave you alone even when you say no they see it more as a challenge to chase you down until you buy a survivor which has made in China stamped on the bottom.
    So we got
    Camel
    Pyramid
    Sand
    Sphinx
    Bus
    Tour guide
    Hawker
    so keep em coming i look forward to the different pic each week

    3. Delighted
    4. Baffled
    5. Withered
    6. Glee
    7. Sinister

    I wasn’t clear on if you wanted one word a day or seven a week…? Well, best of luck, it sounds like a challenge, alright!
    By the way, I found you on your Tumblr, just FYI. :)

    • http://www.moxvoxdesign.com moxvox

      thanks! Great words

      To explain: In total there will be 365 words gathered or donated. These words will make up 52 photos, so 7 words per week. The order in which the words are used it the order in which they hit this website. If you enter more than one word, I add your first word to the first available slot or week, then the remaining words to the following weeks…this allows for a more random input, rather than 1 person having ‘control’ over all the words in a single photograph…hope this makes sense. :)
