PsychoGeographic Maps: Meatpacking District
Meatpacking District Project Process
I can’t say that this assignment was my favorite. Starting off almost close less as to what I had to do really scared me. I can say that when it actually came to visiting the location I was assigned to, I really was inspired to begin working on my Map. I visited the Meat Packing District, and was forced to really look at it in a way I never had before, which was quiet beneficial for me. I had never been asked to use all my senses to create something, and definitely not a map. Even though I did not really enjoy creating the map as I also had no clue as to how to use illustrator, it was definitely a learning experience for me in many ways.
The Faces of Emotion: 3 Frames
A dog, in human form (person wearing a dog mask), is treated like garbage by its human owner (wearing a mask), This owner believes she has the right to treat the dog in an inhumane way; this person shows contempt. Facial features of a contempt person like the tightening of a corner of the mouth, and a head moving away from the source of contempt cover the mask.
The dog stands there before the human as an equal, but the human won’t take that. This human stares at the dog with nothing but contempt, showing scorn, disdain, and a snobbish attitude. The owner stands in her messy room with clothes all over the place, garbage all over the room, and a bed that has yet to be made, looking snobbish, holding a box of cereal not giving a thought to her poor dog staring up at her with hunger in it’s eyes. Instead the owner responds to her dog with anger for daring to even beg for food, and orders the dog to sit. The poor dog obediently crouches in fear, and sits down, looking up to his owner.
In front of the camera the back of a head covers most of the frame. Facial features on the back of this persons head like lowered eyebrows, an open mouth with the upper lip raised, and narrowed eyes are glued to the back of this persons head; this unknown observer is showing disgust. She is feeling revolution to what has just happened before her. Watching the dog owner show contempt towards the dog feels sickening to the disapproving observer
Emotion in One Frame
The human face stares down at the fearful dog, showing contempt, belittling the dog. Although both faces are physically almost the same size, the dog seems smaller, put in the corner of the box. The purple human mask is taking over the box, believing he is much better and more powerful than the dog. From outside the box the face of the observer stares in disgust at what he\she sees before him\her. The light turns on and all of a sudden the scene seems to become a whole lot more dramatic, and my story, which originally consisted of three frames is explained in one frame.
