Home

For this brief, we were asked to put our own interpretation on the word ‘Home’. I chose to talk to the subject about their home life and background and then asked the “where is home?” and got them to write their first response on a whiteboard and hold it up in front of them in the picture. I wanted to have a bit of anonymity so i left out the majority of the subjects face in the images.

These images were similar by Gillian Wearing’s project on signs. She used signs as a way of letting the subject show their true feelings or inner thoughts, which is the same thing that i wanted to get by using text in my images.

My final images: 

Talor works as a club promoter for the Lincoln nightclub ‘Home’. When asked where home was, her first thought was not her family home, but the nightclub that she works at.

 

Anil goes back to Nottingham to watch Forrest play at The City Ground almost every weekend. Yet he hasn’t felt the need to visit his parents while he is there once since moving to Uni.

Reuben cares about his family and friends more than anything, but he has relatives and loved ones all over the world. To him, home is wherever the people most important to him are.

Living in London can be lonely due to is size and the masses of people, this is why, to Kasean, home is wherever his friends are and where he feels like he isn’t just another face in the crowd.

Ashley is quite a closed person in that he doesn’t open up about his emotions easily. This is reflected in his literal response to my question.

Sian is known among her circle of friends for being one of the smartest in the group, but she tends to take things literally. So when asked where home was to her, she immediately assumed that i was asking her for her address.
