Based on the first feedback and the tutorial session, I have decided to continue with a method of visually describing the fountain through different categories such as colours, typography or simple pattern. I focused on the fountain being constructed from even geometric shapes. I returned to the place and paid close attention to the three primary materials of the fountain: stone, metal, and water. I closely described what the materials feel and look like, following the methods George Perec (1999) describes in his book ‘The Neighbourhood’ and ‘The Town’ from Species of Spaces and Other Places.
However, after further investigation and feedback, I realised this was not the right way to go. The main point of interest for me that I wanted to further investigate and visually communicate was that the fountain is meant to be a decorative object. Still, people engage with the place in many different ways. Giving the fountain several new purposes. A place to rest, a place to laugh, a place to eat, a place to protest, and a place that has many different ways to be seen. However, the current phase of my experiment wasn’t answering my point of interest and hit a dead end.
