The Palace of Projects point of view



After reading through this article I began to see that this is "my" life. I read through each story, if you will and uncovered different ways of viewing things. Through out life, we ofter take the most beautiful things for granted, with out any recognition. The whole idea of "breaking away" was something I was able to experience on Wednesday while I was capture footage and taking pictures of some of the most amazing art. It took me somewhere else, both physically and mentally, everything around me had been transformed. I wanted to see inside the minds of the artists work I was seeing. As I read through the article I also stopped to take time and critique the pictures that followed each story. They had so much to say about what the author was thinking.
The way we, "people" view this world we are encompassed in and how we make it what we wish is prevelant and reinforced through written text and visuals. The Trust of Others project stood out to me, most. It reveals the truth in all people about our deepest weekness'. It both, exposes and strengthens the doubt so many of us feel with this gift we hold. The inexpensive mechanism of lowering a basket with money and a note to whoever below and trusting that they will follow your request is in itself a very marvelous and beautiful thing. That is art! And this type of project or act are easily taken for granted in the everyday life, so it is nice to take time out of a buisy day to reflect and learn from wise and wonderful things "I" have available to me, because it is after all "My" life.
