Write up on "Place" Assignment

After thinking a little deeper about "place," I've noticed that a place can be anything and can set off any emotion. A place can be: big or small, dark or bright, growing or rotting, low or high, empty or occupied, mental or physical, creepy or beautiful, and much more. A place could also be created in the mind, such as in a dream. In my video I used two video clips to make my self fade to another position further away and on the opposite side of the screen. I filmed it in an open field so there would be a lot of open space. Surrounded by nothing and everything at the same time. I only said one statement about place, "I am really just right here, but I am over there to you." This statement could be thought about in several ways, but I think of it more as a statement about perception. I believe different peoples perceptions of things give them different opinions. A good example is a guy getting kicked in the nuts and everyone else laughing except the guy who got kicked in the nuts becuase its not funny from his perpective. I am on top of the world and you are on the side just a little bit, but to you, you are on the top and I am on the side.
