Every week, in the early hours of Sunday morning, a humble brown paper bag is automatically filled with the ten latest photos from my Instagram feed. Waking up I peer into the bag to see what photos the people I'm following have taken whilst I've been asleep.
Like many people I love surprises. Surprises in a digital form are one thing, surprises in a physical form are another. I remember when I was younger taking photos and the following anticipation I felt as I waited to get the prints back to hold in my hands a few days later. This simple project is my attempt to add this layer of surprise and delight back into the often instant nature of digital objects.
An everyday brown paper bag ready to be filled with surprises.
At about 2am on a Sunday morning the bag is magically filled with 10 photos.
The bag adds a level of suspense rather than photos just being thrown onto the table.
Time to look through the photos and see what people have taken.
