Home is an installation brought to you by The Door Project. As a notion, home is not defined solely by its location and the walls that create its infrastructure, but is rather quite different for everyone. When raising the question of where is your home, the answer offers no absolute answer. In other words, one answer cannot fulfill the question. Doors and knobs lead us to and away from home, signifying the varying points of view embedded within a given moment or individual. As an installation, Home seeks to open up the emotions embedded within ordinary life so as to bring out the extraordinary, accentuating these liminal spaces as access points to different perspectives, stories and worlds.
Each knob holds its own characteristic and personality representing the different perspective of home present within everyone. Every knob is able to open the door which connects to the idea that every idea of home is valid and accepted.
The poster series aim to translate the story of the doors and highlights the imporatant elements within the installation. It becomes an informative tool for people to be aware of the presence of the installation.
Instagram gives an opportunity for people who are unable to see the installation in-person to see the project digitally. It is utilized as a marketing and promotional tool to spread information about the installation itself as well as different elements that are also connected to the project. (Web, collaterals, experience)
The DigitalDoor is a virtual door that lives in the web for people who might not be able to see the physical door installation. The audience would be able to enter into this space and choose their own knob. They would then upload their desired 'home' into the knob to share their own stories.
The photobook series speaks upon the stories behind the knobs. Being able to apply my own images it represents the ordinary everyday life and gives perspective on the different stories that are present in one’s life. The series will incorporate numerous stories which are spoken through imagery and thoughts.
Knob stickers become an entry-point for the audience to create a more engaging experience with the installation. Each knob can be detected through one’s mobile device which will take them to a web system where they would be able to input their own narrative and imagery. People would be able to place these stickers anywhere near the installation and also encounter different stories by accessing it through their mobile devices.
An additional takeaway for the audience would also include customizable totebags that would be available for purchase at the nearby popup store. People can choose the knobs they wish to have printed on their bag and remember their own unique experiences.
