Research: Alec Soth

I have decided to research in Alec Soth's NIAGRA, particularly the ones of the love letters that have been left behind by estranged lovers who visit the location for holidays or to get married.



I like to concept of having handwritten letters or notes in my video, as a gentle reminder to the characters self as to what they need to remember. This reminds me and I take inspiration from Phillip Toledano's set Days With My Father, were his father writes in a notepad "Where is Hectore? Where is Phillip? Where is Ralph? Where is everybody?". Having simple notes around the film or even behind in the simple shot might be handy in getting the message across about the concept of the film.
