From The Four Corners of the Earth

It took me nine hours to get there on a packed, beat-up, coughing, mini-bus but I eventually made it from Accra to New Adiembra – the closest town with a lorry station to Sefwi Wiawso. It was pitch black night outside and there I was, the only glowing white foreigner in the crowd, the “Obroni”, look...

Part social experiment, part confessional, I Worry is a video project and multimedia exhibition that pieces together the intimate anxieties of over 100 collaborators in a pursuit to answer the question: What do we worry about most? Participate in the project here: http://recollectionproject.com/future.

The I Worry installation runs from June 24th to June 26th as part of Labspace Studio’s (re)collection project.

What happens when the worries of 100 individuals are presented in a collective? When the act of worrying, a deeply personal and private behaviour, turns public?

In May 2010, The Spotlight Project recruited 80 volunteers to reveal, in front of the camera, the five things they worry about most. Since then, we have partnered with Labspace Studio to expand the project to include an online ‘worry’ archive. From now until June, participants are encouraged to become a part of I Worry by uploading their worries via videos or text on http://recollectionproject.com/future.

From June 24th – 26th collected worries will be presented in an interactive multimedia exhibition at Labspace Studio. Footage from the interviews and submissions will be edited and projected onto four walls of a claustrophobic chamber made from floor-to-ceiling sheets of fabric. Viewers will be invited to consider the prolificacy of some worries over others. Are commonalities amongst participants a sign of a larger problem? A problem that extends beyond the individual psyche and finds ground in society at large?

I Worry carries out an investigation of how “worrying,” an act generally seen as deeply intimate, can be a reflection of how larger social, political and economic problems play out on the individual level.
