tuning into squash?

My ideas keep on changing I feel. On Monday i went to go play squash with my friends, but at that point it definitely didn’t occur to me that my idea for this assignment could revolve so much around what i had filmed, to linger on my friends while they were playing squash and moving around, which i feel is an exploration of lingering through movement. but alas, I am now thinking of using lingering to create an audiovisual experience for squash, or perhaps recreate it.

So… how can you recreate the experience of playing squash? This is a question I’ve given myself to work on for this final assignment, and it is one, with respect to lingering that feels all together quite interesting. I think from the outset, one can only recreate the experience of playing squash by first reaching a conclusion as to what it is about the experience of playing squash that provides the most clarity whilst playing it. I would say there is something so thoroughly comforting about the various sounds of squash, such that listing them evokes a variable feeling.

  • The ball hitting the wall
  • The ball bouncing off the side of the wall hitting the main wall
  • The shoes chirping around the court

I feel like the elements i’d wish to explore in this sense will confront these sounds more, and the visuals of squash, in a way that, for lack of a better adjective, enhances them.
