I'm a bit stuck now.
Initially I wanted to create a series of books, each relating to a different journey and dealing with the content in a different way - illustrative, typographic, photographic etc. Now I have many photographs, many notes, many points to make, but I'm unsure now where to take it all. I have way, way too much information.
I want to pick three journeys to compare and contrast the different areas in terms of the people there, and the way people and place relate. South Ken being upmarket with its royal history reflects this in the cleanliness and architectural detailing, for example, whereas Hackney is scruffy, weathered and rough-round-the-edges, with a high immigrant population and some very underprivileged neighbourhoods. The people I saw and heard in each place varied hugely and I got some great images of a few of them.
Outcome: MARKED TERRITORY series
Three books, each focusing on one journey, documenting the marks people make on their environment and what this tells us about their relationship with their surroundings, both current and historical. The books will tell the story of the areas' people using type, illustration and photography.
