Titles for documentaries that will probably never be made, 2019
What’s in a title? From one sentence, or even a couple of words, we are able to construct an entire narrative. Language can be amazingly efficient, and our imaginations can be incredibly fertile when furnishing details. This work is part of a series where I am investigating the potential of language and visualisation. In this example I have taken the titles for proposed documentary films and made each title a self-standing statement. The entire idea for a documentary is distilled down into the title and we can each create our own version of the story.
