Another image from my current project Across The Abyss.
The same as a person in the desert imagines a pool of water, someone who is desperate for love imagines their prince or princess. The chances of either being real are slim to none, but when you want something bad enough you start to hallucinate. Our desire feeds effortlessly from the stories we are told, the songs we hear on the radio and the literature we have always read. From childhood, we are convinced into believing that without love our lives are incomplete, before we are even aware, we are told stories of the poor damsel in distress that can only be saved by her heroic Prince. This project focuses on the kinds of places that are romanticised by young adults.
The majority questioned for this body of work have not experienced love, yet they already have a clear idea of what they expect for their future. Most places described are those that appear in many classic romantic fictions, the park benches, the sunsets, and the empty beaches during those warm spring evenings. The project has been created using a Polaroid camera, as it plays on the idea of going to these intimate places and being able to take something away. Something to physically touch and hold in our hands, an action that we are not able to do with love.
‘Perhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there is someone there to see us exisiting, we cannot properly speak until there is someone there who can understand what we are saying, in essence we are not wholly alive until we are loved’ – Alain De Botton

Project update
Not sure who exactly I’m writing to right now, but I thought I’d add an update on here about how the project is going… My Polaroid Land Camera 100 just arrived today, so hopefully picture will be coming soon. (Thats when I’ve sorted all of its issues out and if it actually even works!) Thanks to all the replies I’ve had so far, Tumblr has been fantastic as always! There will also be a Facebook group very soon to advertise the exhibition, which will be taking place in Cardiff in a few months time, the exhibition is going to present some top notch upcoming photographers (obviously not speaking of myself here) but there are some super talented photographs coming out this year. There will also be a Website for those who aren’t able to attend the exhibition so everyone gets to have a gander at whats going on! (on a side note if anyone has any experience with LAND CAMERAS, please get in touch)
IN NEED OF HELP.
So you might get a load of personal questions from me… I’m sorry. Im doing my final project about love. Love. it’s the subject of countless songs, poetry, painting, movies and literature. Everyone wants it. We
all know that the word love is overused and cliche. But it’s still something we
don’t want to live without, whether True Love actually exists or its simply a
neurological condition. Love is not just one thing. Love for parents, partners,
children, country, neighbor and God all have different qualities.
Im not able to complete my project without the cooperation of others. Ive decided to get answers from the lovely people of tumblr instead of people in person (Ew outside and social interaction) as i feel people are able to give me a more honest opinion, and I’m able to reach more people. so if any of you would like to help out, save a brother here.
The questions are…
- Have you ever been in love? (This doesn’t always have to be with a person,we find love in many different ways, from our friends, family, hobbies or jobs)
- If the answer is yes, then what’s your love story? (How have you found love in your life) If your answer was no, then how do you imagine your love story for the future?
- Name a place/location you think of when you think of love, a place that is personal to you. This could be a place where you first met someone special, a place you feel comfortable, or just a place that makes you happy.
