Excitingly, Michelle Tsen and I have been commissioned to make a short film for the Museum of Broken Relationships which is on from 16th August - 4th September, 2011. The film will be screened outdoors on 27th of August (and you can book tickets here).
But as I love working socially, I wanted your input into the final product. I don't want to give it all away, but we are looking for an answer to this question: "What represents a relationship to you?"
We need things from the beginning of a relationship, the middle parts and most importantly, the end of a relationship. For us, the more your answer is based on sound (and action), the easier it is for us to use. I.e. A drink together (a clink of glasses), the first cup of tea in a new flat (a kettle boiling), stomping and slamming, the last kiss.
And what will you get if we use your suggestion? A special contribution credit will appear on the film and we'll send you a copy of it.
So let the fun begin and drop us your suggestions here!
To me the end of a relationship starts with a calm but intense discussion, usually in a public place, continues into a pregnant silence, graduates to a moment of revelation for one of the parties involved, which is expressed with a look of resignation, and ends with the slow screech of a chair and intent footsteps. It's sad. It's liberating. It's moving on.
ReplyDeleteOh Erin - that is both beautiful and sad. Thank you so much for sharing that with me. :)
