When given the opportunity to explore methodologies in order to discover one’s
response with their medium, one cannot resist. From exploring the idea of mistakes and
intention within the photographic medium, the questions of space between our own
practices were introduced. Again, a system was created and used within the process,
which lead the creation of the work. The intention of the work was to release us from
control and comfort within the medium. This approach was influenced heavily by past
conceptual artists.
For eleven days, we woke up at 3am to complete each tasks that was produced
separately. This was done in order to compare our thought-ˇprocesses within this hour,
which could reveal links, connections and further separations while looking for
coincidence. The tasks all relate to question our present selves and to become conscious
of this. The uncontrolled sleeping hour of 3am allowed us to be honest and raw with the
tasks, therefore giving an accurate outcome. The selected number of nights felt long
enough to feel the consequences of the interrupted sleep and still enabled to create
further work around this theme. Doing the tasks separately, a non-dialogue was created
but then broken when communication occurred the following day.
Two A6 identical books, 30 folded written paper maps and a large digital print was
created to become the final work. The books display only the text that was written within
the eleven nights; the layout of the book reveals a rebellious character as it challenges
and frees the expectation and tradition of how books are made to be read and interacted
with. Along with this, 30 folded A4 written maps were made as an shared piece with all
the entries of each night. This will allow us to share our intimacy with everyone, while
they will interact with the distorted and disorientated text – using the layout of the text as
a metaphor we aimed to describe how we felt during the 3am. The layout of the digital
print was positioned in relation to the text. All that we have created are brought to the
performance; which we are now thankful to share as it has already past us. It is now a
memoir.
