In today’s tutorial, we were given our project briefs. At first glance, creating images, audio, film and text reflecting yourself in a self portrait like manner seems simple, as who knows you better than you know yourself? Then after I sat and looked at it in further detail, actually thinking about the task at hand, I realised how hard it actually is to present yourself to another via a series of mediums, in a creative sense. How much of yourself can you consciously tap into after prompted to do so? It is challenging, trying to think of a way to explain to a certain degree who and what you are, trying not to place your literal being in the centre of a simple image. For a self portrait is not just a lovely posed moment or a mug shot like photo, it’s an expression of soul and identity. All of that said, I have no idea, at this current moment, how exactly I am going to execute this in a poetic and ingenious manner, hoping that my travels – or lack thereof – in the next few days may allow me to strike some inspiration from my surroundings, both familiar and unfamiliar. What is my essence? How do I perceive myself?
