For my typology assignment, I undertook
the study of types of workspaces, whether
the area's energy changes when occupied, and whether one can gain an
idea about the owner of a workspace based purely on the contents of
the space. Originally it was to be the study of types of
creative spaces, however
several subjects into the study I realised that, regrettably, a lot
more than simply creative work is done within these spaces. After my
fourth or fifth participant, I began to notice a pattern in them and
their relationship to their workspace: they would apologise to me
about the 'mess' and insist on cleaning up before I shot the images.
Are we so ashamed of the natural states of our workspaces, a space so
personal where a lot of our best work is done, that we need to alter
them for the eyes of others? Suffice to say, I subsequently
insisted they leave it as is, as a study cannot be performed
accurately if the data collected is contrived. These are the results.
Is it possible to tell what kind of person belongs to this workspace without them being present…?
AND THE REVEAL...
And finally, this is my workspace as my production crew help me to edit my documentary.
