About the project

 

My goal is to create a piece on dyslexia using glitch and legos comped onto film in an abstract experimental representation

My senior film is an representational pice about my frustration and struggles with dyslexia. Using legos and glitch as a symbol of the learning disorder, the actress battles against the disorder in an ‘head space’ 

 

Why legos: A lot about dyslexia (and other learning based disorders) I feel stop getting talked about once you become an adult. Your expected to accumulate, your ieps don’t mean anything in a work place and are often ignored in higher education. Legos as the symbolism of dyslexia agenized an collage age actress don’t only make the ‘struggle’ partly a flash back, but also symbolize how people view learning disorders as a childhood thing and not something that is going to affect you for your entire life.

 

Using legos also gives me a way to express ‘tactics’ to overcome ones disabilities. to have the actress build up the legos is a way for me to try to express how that all it is, tactics. Tactics to organise and keep you going and functioning but the disability never truly goes away and can even multiply faster then you can build the was back up
