Major Project: Leaving Home

My major project will be about documenting people's experiences of leaving home.  The project will consist of either a sound/written record of people's stories which will sit alongside a photograph of the person or the person's things that have meaning.

I particularly like the layout of Sophie Calle's exquisite pain where she tells her story of a man leaving her and then asks 100 people to tell their stories of break ups - the idea being that her pain lessons each time she tells the story and they tell her their story.

These are the pages of Calle's book I like the layout and the idea, with images that relate but are not necessarily the person - telling the story through the objects. 

I was thinking in terms of camerawork that I could use a film camera to take the images in black and white and then have them digitised for the project.  I think this will lend a more nostalgic feel to the images giving a feeling of distance from the story.
