Proposal for SLP

For starters, I have two ideas both of which are EXTREMELY undeveloped. I believe on more than the other, or about the same.

The first idea that came to mind is making some kind of flip book that engages viewers to think about time. I want my viewers to be able to understand how speeding up or slowing down something can pull out different visual effects and connect thoughts and/or emotions that the different visual effects may have on you as the reader. The content of the book itself, how I will be compiling these images, and the effects I want to display are still a work in progress.

My other idea, I feel somewhat more excited about. I came across my old polaroid camera a couple of months ago and found an organization that produces new instant film materials for tradition Polaroid instant cameras.

I really like the idea behind our Found and Bound project about looking at the book as an object, and I like thinking about how the film and border of Polaroid instant film contributes to the visual aesthetic of the image. I want to experiment with the snapshot effect that comes from a Polaroid instant camera and how time is truly captured in that instant, with the film being developed instantly. Like my first idea, I don't know what theme or content the images themselves will have. I would, however, like to make this a collaborative effort with The Impossible Project, but the details on that still need to be worked out.
