Second post

Hi everybody.

So a week have gone by and I have come just a bit closer to what I want to do. Some of the explanation will a repetition, sorry but it's so it makes sense.

For the project I want to do something in contrast to hectic feeling and create a place to relax and breath out in a way. In that sense my project is in some ways similar to the Kamppi Chapel (where I’m inspired by the wooden material it is made of), but my project has nothing to do with religion.
It should be something that is visually satisficing and where the aesthetic abundance is scraped away. Right now my idea is the make a nature video that features the beauty of Kuusamo near Lapland (and maybe also Nuuksio National Park and Suomenlinna). I’m not use to making videoes only photography so if I’m satisfied with my footage it will instead change use my photography and them the photos into a transitions, so still get some sense of movement. It should be very relaxing and maybe with sounds of the nature also. I would either like to make kind of a closed space (for example by putting up a black curtain) inside the centre, where people can step in and take break by seeing the movie, putting headphones on and listening to the nature, and smelling branches from the woods. In that way it would stimulate more than one sense, as the shopping centre already do. My other choice is to only make the video without sound and placing it on one of the big screens so that it can reach everybody that is passing by. I’m coming back from Kuusamo on Sunday and I will hopefully be clearer about the practicalities of my idea by next week. 

See you all next week!
