On The Second Week:
The Neglected Apple
On the last day of September, I found a fresh apple on a terrace wall of somebody’s house in the corner that seems contradictive with the withered sunflowers in its small garden. The apple is still being there after some rough weeks which is interesting to me to realize that nobody cares about it: no one moves or touches or even sees it, they passed it. I tried to capture the situation by making a timelapse video of people walking with the apple on the center of the scene. There was a bearded man noticed my activity and laughed. The rest are not seem bothered of what I did. Or maybe simply doesn’t want to know. I also made a video of people walking on the pavement in different times: afternoon and evening. Then I layered the scene so it looks like they are floating between being and mentally non existence.
I also tried to find out why people walking so fast? Where are their destinations? What makes them in rush? I did this by following three subjects but I think this is not working.
2:41 – 3:14
I tried to mapping of empty houses in the neighbourhood to see if this has any relation to the amount of wild plants, lichen, or any unusual object in the site. But apparently not.
