The form in which your are being asked to consider making work will be influenced by the functional needs of the site (terminal 1 arrivals), and that it is Manchester.
• The Terminal is space, which needs to be compulsory entered, and with a captive (if not necessarily a receptive) audience.
• The city they are entering is Manchester / NW region.
The work you will be making here will not necessarily read as photographs. The effect of scale, the relationship of these images with the space, and how the audience navigates the space are things to consider.
Whilst each area or ‘zone’ has specific site issues that need to be addressed, (.ie. dark low areas , long corridors , corners leasing up to escalators, sites from which images are to be viewed or glimpsed from a distance and walked toward), the focus for this exercise will be for you to consider what themes / concepts / locations / content / and treatment , you think might be well suited, in general terms, for the terminal.
It may help if you consider that the work hybrid between a filmic sequence and the photographic still. Not a joiner nor an installation, not a film, nor a photograph, yet the work will be sensitive to of some of these.
Prompts for your creative approach:
Constructed narratives , a fragmented narrative / joiners / rewards for looking / ambiguity / playfulness / quiet humour / challenging expectation / celebrating expectation / experimental / beautiful
Prompts for content:
Blue skies /Weather /Cleaners cupboards /Horizons /Seascapes /Storyline /Constructive narratives/ Football /Arrows /guides /lines /directional flow images /Colour /City /Mood /Time /Parallels and opposite /Sunshine /Nightclub /Queues
Shoot / sketch / outline /write up your thinking. At this stage there are no wrong answers.
Deadline 11th December 2009
