Mapping Nottinghamshire is a Derby QUAD Participatory
Photography project. It inspires people through camera and phone photography to
explore Nottinghamshire. The photographic installation is in the Rufford
Gallery, it changes and grows as photographs are added to the map day by
day.
In March 2012 Chris Seddon
photographed the project for the council. Chris Seddon is a Derby music and
events photographer who is assigned to photograph events such as this. Seddon
took some of his own photographs in Rufford Park and pinned them to the
map.
I really like this idea
because it allows you and others to view what is around the area that they may
have not noticed before. The use of luggage labels symbolises the
journey through tracking Nottinghamshire.
This inspired me to
experiment with doing a similar idea for my final piece. As my photographs were
taken in and around Croydon I have found a map of Croydon and the
surrounding areas. On the map I will find a variation of different pins to pin
the photographs on with. I will experiment with using luggage labels to pin my
photographs onto the map with. By using luggage labels it will give it more of
an aged effect as well as the map being an original map that is slightly
discoloured.
