... and that's how we started. Participants were introduced to the project (aims, objectives etc.), the camera and its settings, photography elements and a few tips. We packed our bags and off we went. Pair communication warmed up very quickly, the shared goal phenomenon works!

Day2 - time
Time and photography. As Susan Sontag says "all photographs are memento mori". We chosen our favorite hours of the day to snapshot slices of time

Day3 - place
The story has time so it has space. We visited places where we like to be, the spots where our particular memories and emotions are released or we are entangled without any reasons that are known to us. And you may already recognized it yourself, photographed objects look different from those in "reality"

Day4 - private space
Our brainstorming on the word "space" concentrated on a few concepts and "own/ private space" was one of them. Is it because our presence "I am" automatically creates the ownership of the territory we are in or it simply emphasizes our unique style of seeing things and looking at them like nobody else on this earth... The images speak for themselves

Day5 - endless/ infinite
Believe me or not, but it's something that many of us are not very brave to think about. Even though we like our categorical thinking to simplify the chaos around us, the idea of infinity as of horizontal 8 can not be easily defined through words, but triggered off or reminded through visuals

Day6 - I am among people and I am alone
You may think you only need a mirror, but without other people you wouldn't be who you are now. It is very fascinating to know that our perception is partially constructed by society which we watch through that very individual window. So we took our cameras and went out for a hunt. The main rule to use: don't assume what other people think about you

Day7 - photo studio
Finally, even though the light bulbs where missing in the professional photo studio, doors are for people with no imagination
