Emily and I decided to take a semi-different route for this project, we decided to use people as the monuments, in order to bring to life the national day of silence. We had people of different races, genders, and sexualities stand in intimate positions for a certain amount of time and then we would film them in order to document the experience. The footage shown is more of smaller groups of people around campus but we had lost the footage of the larger group that would hold their positions and then switch into a different one after the amount of time given. The larger group, I believe, had more of a significant effect because people would stop and ask questions about what was going on or would stop and stare. I think that we should do this again each year and hopefully it will catch on and more and more people will become a part of this monumental event. I liked the concept of of taking the idea of monument and allowing ourselves to become our own monuments that also have a significant impact on the world.
