“Form a world for each of your brief”
Paul
I had an interesting discussion in the Language Development class today. The discussion was about collaboration. It helped me land upon the fact that none of the work that I do is truly mine. There are always external factors garnering my decisions. Claire put forward such a poignant perspective of natural phenomena occurring as a result of collaboration happening within its elements. I came up with the example of a rainbow which is the outcome of the successful collaboration between the Sun and the raindrops.
I feel the need to design the collaborative process for my briefs and decide beforehand which areas of the briefs that I have selected require my intervention. I also agreed with Rob when he stated that you do not have to take the lead on every project.
Collaboration also reminds me of the sincere efforts Neha and I took to book a boat ride from Canary Wharf to Waterloo. We went there to click pictures of the winter lights. We saw the last boat of the day (RB6) leave right before our eyes. It was disappointing but made for such a funny story. We might try to do it again.
What else? The WIP show was also a great example of how collaboration can result into great things. I helped the curation team stick manifestos on the wall. It was not a very ambitious job but I enjoyed interacting with the team and got some amazing amazing BTS footage with the inta360 camera.
I have to collect my Lino prints tomorrow.
