untested bounderies

For my self directed project I decided to follow an idea i have had on and off since the beginning of term one. I liked the notion of testing myself physically in order to learn something about myself, my own boundaries and also my understanding of them. 

It was recommended that I take a look at the work of Smith/Stewart. I found mouth to mouth and breathing space particularly interesting, for the way they approached their subject, they way they deal with each other and also the aesthetic composition of the images.

Cool Hunting

I was introduced to this website a few weeks ago and have become a little bit addicted. Their site is made up of collections of videos on topics that the makers have decided are quite interesting, The subjects are very varied but all are shot in a similar style which gives a nice line of continuity.

This was one of my favourites.
