Sophie Calle did a project and about when and where she would die. I decided to take this idea and run with it, but BYU style.
The majority of the single population at BYU is obsessed with the question of, “When will I meet my eternal companion?” and sometimes can’t help but think, “Today is the day, I better put on my five inch stilettos and hike up the hill to campus so I can look good for Mr. Right.”
I’ve talked to friends and they say they’re BYU-brainwashed; whenever they meet a cute boy, they can’t help but think about dating him and, since we are at BYU, marrying him. Make a good first impression, boys, your eternal salvation is on the line.
Thus, I have decided to jump into the obsession of marriage (not that I was exempt from it before) and explore the hypothetical situation of when and where I will meet my future hubby. The heels are on, I’m going out!
*All pictures were taken with my iPhone to enhance the stalkerazzi-ness of the project.
Maybe I'll meet him as I am walking home from class...
Or maybe I'll meet him in a test review...
Or we'll both be stopped at a stop light, he'll look over at me, ask for my number, and we'll fall in love...
Maybe I'll meet him in the library where we'll strike up a conversation about finals and our attraction for one another...
Maybe he'll sit next to me in class...
Or maybe he'll come into my work...
Fun idea. I hope the stalker photos sparked a convo with some of these guys. =) That would be a good "how we met" story.
ReplyDeletehaha, that would make an excellent story... fun project idea, I like that it is personal and also makes a statement about BYU culture.
ReplyDeleteWow. Fabulous idea. This could apply to so many things at BYU because it is so inherently and mostly universally true. I like it and the story you've told.
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot. I only wish there were more of it. I also was wishing for more commentary on the guys of a comedic and even judgmental nature, though that's likely due to my own twisted nature more than any shortcomings on your part.
ReplyDeleteI think the context in which the project is established really makes it much more pertinent.
This is hilarious! Way to portray BYU culture in such a truthful way. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny and a little scary how realistic that is...its a hype that hits you a soon as you get here freshman year.
