Where I Lived and What I Lived For
“I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die discover that I had not lived...”
Where I Lived and What I Lived For is a photo essay inspired by Henry David Thoreau's writings on self-reliance and moral idealism. The work is an exploration of intentional communities in the UK and focuses on the sense of place as well as the people who dwell in each community and their personal ideologies.
The work is intended to convey the positive nature of intentional community and the normality and domesticity of an otherwise unseen world.
... i am thinking of putting together a photo zine of all of the photographs i took at one of the communities i visited that i didn't use for my exhibition along with transcripts of audio recordings i made and a few extra things, maybe something hand made tooo :) having just graduated as a bachelor of arts one of the few things i am sure of is that i'm not interested in taking photographs as a "job", i'm not particularly good at it and i equally don't care, it feels GOOD
