Why Archives

Why this interest’s me. Most people have collections of some sort that is fascinating to them weather they realise they do it our not.
I am fascinated with what fascinates others and why different things intrigue people.
This research project will take up a lot of my time so I have chosen a subject that will keep me interested in this project. I have also the past two years been collecting my own archive of peoples beliefs you could say this is an archive within an archive.

apply collections to contxt

I will look at personal resource in any medium from any source, perspectives on meaning and interpretation to apply collections to context with a point of view and explore context as a boundary of meaning.
I will show how simulating awareness of the creative potential of the world around us can form archive, which can be brought into a graphic context
(Such as the camper shoes campaign.)

Amelie (the flim)

In ‘Amelie’ the film directed by Jeunet you could observe a serious of characters defined (or at least better illustrated) by their collections/taxonomy.
Amelie herself finds an archive left behind in her flat by a small boy; the other main character collects torn up passports photos and photos footprints in wet cement: a girl from the café collects proverbs (and judges others on their own knowledge of them). The film starts by listing the characters’ likes and dislikes.
