EXP 2: POROSITY LENS BRIEF

Depression is a mental state which alters the individual’s perception of reality within their own environment. It is a manner which is much more than a simple state of sadness and grief, but rather a complex continuum of disorder. Such influences the individual upon a physical and psycological level as the individual may feel lethargic and emotional worthless, however such defines the manner in which they interact with their environment.

Through my porosity lens documentary I intend on exploring the manner in which an individual with depression interacts with their environment through the influence of their mental state. I intend on perceiving the manner in which the individual not only attempts to restore disorder but also the manner in which they unknowingly develop disorder within their environment. My initial perpeception of portraying such involves using the Town Hall Station Prefab as a representation of the individual’s environment alluding to a sense of depression and lioness through its surrounding environment in the form of a few un-habited islands within the middle of the ocean as the station is suspended in-between. Thus the environment (station) will be separated into numerous uniform sections in a cube formation, allowing the individual through custom pieces to walk throughout. Through such general interactions will individual sections rotate upon the influence of the protagonist’s movement, re-organising the original state portraying disorder. Such will allow for one to attempt to restore order, while within a sense remaining defined by their environment and thus there state of depression.
