When I think of Intimate Immmensity I think of space and imagination - the infinity of the universe and the infinity of the mind. Thought wandering and daydreaming are limitless as are the cosmos. We have to use our minds and our personal experiences to make sense of the world. The universe can only be portrayed through our minds eye by exercising our internal perceptions of all that is around us and all that we have ever experienced or understood. We need our memories, imagination, logic and rationale to make sense of the world and anything beyond.
It would be useful to collect images and research information relating to these concepts to find ways of visually representing them. Starting points could be pictures/videos/ articles of space, universe, globe, mind, brain, imagination, memory, logic, rationale, dream, day dream, perception etc.
Tomorrow I will be taking pictures of the Guizer Jarl squad, Galley and the crowds in the morning and again in the evening. I am interested in crowds as a theme, the immensity of vast numbers of people coming together, shared personal experiences of the same event and the vibe and atmosphere of large numbers of people united by a single occasion. I am thinking of the parallels that could be drawn between the Washington crowds of the Obama inauguration and how they might relate/compare to the Up Helly Aa crowds of Shetland.
