Traces Of Summer
Active Assignment Weekly for the week of December 13-21: Traces
Inspired by an emulation assignment in another group, this week’s assignment is based on Nadav Kander's “Signs That We Exist” series. Kander explains the subjects of this series as “…the marks we make and objects we leave behind act as evidence of our existence.”
The goal is to take a photo of a scene that shows evidence of our existence, passing, or visitation in a passive and minimalistic manner. The photo should emphasize the clues of our presence or activity in the world. A photo of a building certainly is a sign that we exist, but this is too overt. The more subtle approach is what I’m looking for.
WIT: After a busy weekend and the first blizzard of the year, I went down to the beach and found remnants of a summer barbeque. Six more months until winter is over, I can smell the grilled steak already!
