About The Project Conversations
Project: Conversations Today social media consumes half of human life. According to Statista, 2.65 billion people are using online social applications. They have to create their own identity in the media application, which exists on phones and computers. People are living with social media and tend to ignore the reality of the world around them. I have also used social media such as Facebook, and I have found something that is unusual. One kind of post that all Instagram and Facebook users do is copying and saving the images that are from the scenes from famous movies. I have found that social media users have a habit of posting movie scenes. That habit could be the platform to allow people to understand psychological problems. With this in mind, I am exploring issues around mental illness in the world. My goal is to make everybody be aware of how close these psychological issues are to them. Based on people's behaviors on Facebook and Instagram, I was inspired to create a “NonMovies-Project” called Project: Conversations. A Non-Movies-Project is the idea of a movie that does not actually exist. It is showing the cinematic photographs consist of subtitles as the same as images people always post on their application walls. All of the pictures are real interviews between the people who live in the nowadays world and me. The discussions give opinions and messages on how people think about mental issues. I use this project to intervene in people's messages in the hope that they will actually use them on social media, so that other people think the Non-Movies are real movies. The purpose of helping people in everybody understand how critical psychological issues are by using these non-exist movies and make them go online.
