Of course I had noticed this before, but hadn't really thought anything of it. Walking down the road, although all of the houses have been built exactly the same, they all boast subtle differences, be it the mound of rubbish and empty beer cans littering the garden or the colour of the door (or lack of it!.. on my street this would probably happen..) Similar to 'Ever Desk in Grays' i thought i would transfer this idea to these houses.. and heres how it went.
In terms of structure and uniformity, i feel this series of photographs works more than the desk series. Although uniformity seems to break towards the end with each photograph subtley changing and showing differences to the last (this is with the introduction of steps leading up the door and a longer pathway.) Although each is different, one factor that was continuous throughout was where the photograph was taken from. Each was taken at the edge of the pavement, directly looking towards the door, aiming for (as much as possible) a completly centered image.
As with 'Every Desk in Grays', i would like to play with the idea of projecting each photograph on a loop onto a blank white door (the door in the photograph would be lined up so that it hits the physical door.. so possibly a lot of tweaking in photoshop..) But would also be interested to see each photograph framed and hung.
