People always say, “Keep your head up.” But what if you don’t?
“I always look at the ground. It’s so interesting,” said one of Ece’s friends one day. Ece was a little taken back by this statement. However, this got her to thinking, why does no one document the ground? Could the ground really be that interesting?
For over two months, Ece videoed the ground she talked on; whether it was during a neighborhood walk, getting into a car, boarding a plane, waiting in lines. Anywhere. Anytime. She compiled these clips into a single video at just one minute in length.
In order to share this project in a still-format, a collection of images were collated into an organized and gridded collage. These were screenshots from clips in the video, not images. The purpose behind this is to still have the essence of movement through a still-image by conserving the natural blurriness of the video’s screenshot.
