i had this vague idea at a party once- i was looking around- all these people- with their unvierses, their own friends, family, socks, drama, pencils, desks, emails, and universes- and they all collide at parties. before the party, i was in place x. and in my personal narrative- i was in place x, then went to this party, and saw all these people. but before the party- everyone was somewhere- doing something.
i had the idea of photographing people at a party, then getting a bunch (maybe 10) of them involved in this photoessay or photonarrative, in which i traceback their steps to what they did before the party, how they heard about it, how they got there, etc.
Coincedences, random instances, etc would enhance project. This may need words, but thats okay- it can have captions.
The final product would be photos of a party and branching out would be how those people ended up there- the branches could be backwards chronologically from the party to maybe how they first heard about the party or how they came to find out about it. then trace it backwards more- they saw a flyer for it? in what building? what class did they have there? why did they take that class? why are they that major? work backwards and backwardser.
why? based on the idea that if one could know everything in the universe (the placement of each atom in the universe) and you could have this ideal/incredible calculator - then you could predict the future. if you didnt want to major in taht- you would never have ended up that party.
the party where universes collide.
