(18th) Movement Diagrams_Rediscovering the Bathroom IV

Overlaying the text and visual. What could be a beautiful flowing diagram looks awkward around the edges where the body and the bathroom meet.

(18th) Movement Diagrams_Rediscovering the Bathroom III

Taking the initial movement diagram and removing the context.

It looks like a trail of someone who keeps bumping into walls.

These diagrams will be useful to overlay on each other (once I have created a few over a period of time - reference to time Perec, routine, film measuring time and diary; measure of time spent somewhere, memories and routines etc - from previous diary entries). They will create a sort of matrix of movement maps for me to develop further.

How do I create my bathroom for someone else to see? Or how do they experience what I do, how I move and how I interact with my bathroom - products and body?

(18th) Movement Diagrams_Rediscovering the Bathroom II

Commands or actions?

(18th) Movement Diagrams_Rediscovering the Bathroom I

Overlaying the action words with the movement diagram, giving a sense of the action that was taking place at the time. Most of it is pretty obvious since the context of the bathroom is given. It is still  little ambiguous in regards to actions such as 'pick up' or 'adjust' - what is being picked up? What am I adjusting?

Rediscovering the bathroom.

Thursday 18th August_Movement Diagram

First movement diagram in relation to Thursday 18th August Diary Entry. This diagram looks at the movements recorded in the diary for that day throughout various points in the day.

The circles represent when my body was fixed at a point for a varied pause of time. I have used dotted lines to represent lines of sight when I looked in the mirror. I am going to bring this quickly into P/shop and label the various movements back onto themselves and have a play around with creating another movement diagram from this.

"SPACE" Georges Perec

This is the nice diagram in Perec's Species. It just speaks for the volumes of connotations a singular word can mean and various other meanings around it. This use of the same word, in Perec's case "SPACE", is what inspired me to draw a list of connections. In language, the connection between the body part, action and product is visible.
