DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

My project concept.

I'm creating a Zone, which can be described as a object, that only exists as long as it has the inhabitants.

The inhabitants are the main subject of my work.

According to Strugatsky, at the heart of Zone lies phenomenons - the artefacts from within the Earth.

Everyone knows about them, but they begin to exist - to appear - upon the entrance of human.
Because according to the nature of the Zone, humans consider to be alien, foreign existence.

The judgement is various, every person looks differently at the same location, they see it in another light and evaluate it based on their own beliefs.

Therefor the same place will become multiple zones for every human.

So the keywords will be "one and only", "variety", "difference."


According to the philosophy of existentialism, to realise themselves as "existence", a person must be in "borderline situation" - for example, in the face of death.





I need "actors", to create a situation within the Zone, something that is going on in the area, - and that will be captured by the camera. The video will be staged, considering the fact that I stir the action.

I need to consider: "what" will occur, which can be interpreted as "borderline situation" - that breaks  the person out of his comfort zone - such emotions as fear or panic or extreme curiosity.
This will be on the screen. For example: a dog barking at the man - 'a threat? threat! danger!' feeling creates such thoughts as "how to get out of here as soon as possible" and "I will not ever go there."

The meeting with the bullies, a fight, too, can be included as 'borderline'...

So it turns out that this scenario would be negative. For stable prosperous society only this can considered "strange, foreign".
Well, as good as a solar radiation, or the city collapse, or a weather cataclysm - such as snow in Italy, when all the car movement has stopped, because they didnt use the winter tires (they dont have it at all, in principle).
