The Uruk Project is a series of questions I am asking attractive subjects or finished works of art (third entities produced from the time spent between subjects and I) . The name comes from my interest in the present condition of the ancient city of Uruk in Mesopotamia. It reached its peak 5,000 years ago and is now a mound of dirt, a mound of history. This mound is my interest. As an archeologists digs the dirt of history, I am digging my "mounds" of finished work as if they have their own story (culture) to tell. My hope is that their opinions and desires will let me know how they want to commune.
This is a collaborative project between the subjects and I. We will have to be honest with one another. I will be using Wikipedia, Google, and my family for research.
Preliminary questions of finished work:
1. What subjects were used?
2. What was attractive about theses subjects?
3. What is the cultural and individual history of these subjects?
4. How does the subject's story intersect with my own (Where did we meet?)
5. How have I manipulated the subject?
6. How has the subject been transformed?
7. What have I been reading about?
8. What have I been thinking about?
9. What have I been looking at?
10. What have I been listening to?
