Summary:
In October 2022, I will be traveling to Finland to connect with an art residency based in the town of Ii, in the Northern Ostrobothnia region. While I will be self-funding the trip, I would like to propose a creative project to take advantage of already being in a new place for a period of time. This would involve a black and white analog photo series, turned into an online gallery exhibition of NFTs via the Garden Collective mintbase store.
The overall trip will be six days. As my visit to the art residency will take up three days of my time, I am proposing a two-day project in the nearby city of Oulu, giving me 48 hours to create a series of expressive Black & White photographs that will try to capture a city and culture from an outsiders perspective. The idea is to focus on the simple day-to-day happenings that stand out to me as an outsider and observer with fresh eyes, and create a photo journal of this experience.
I will shoot four rolls of film on two different analog cameras with an intended outcome of 10 to 20 final photos to be minted on the Garden mintbase store and created into a 3XR gallery space (with a possible physical exhibition in the future).
