Cutting a long story as short as I possibly can: A friend once painted a picture on a door. I came to Nottingham and saw this door stood in the barest remenants of a building and meant to take a picture of it for her. Went to do it, they were finishing demolishing the building. Went back later, stole the door. Have since planned on taking it various places and photographing it here, there and everywhere.
How it's being used to 'Represent my world' is as follows: I am very interested in current affairs and politics as well as the media representation of such issues and how this shapes peoples view of the world. I'll be taking a newspaper headline from a national daily newspaper and painting it on my door before wheeling it out into the world.
Today's news headline comes courtesy of The Daily Express and tells us that: "Bin tax will hit everyone ... Unless you are an MP".
The location is my room here at University. This isn't due to my laziness, although the stencilling and painting did take three hours and as yet, I have no way of moving it so, that is a lesser factor. I thought that given that this is my world we (by we, I mean I am) are representing here, that my room with all my worldly posessions was as good a place as any to start.
