This week the assignment for Collective Storytelling demanded an audio story in three parts. For this project I decided to apply an idea that was around for a while (originally it has also a video component, and is intended to be much longer, which I hope to develop), of interviewing someone over and over again, no stop, asking always the same questions. It is very interesting to observe how the answers change and develop, almost as if you had a second chance to rearrange your thoughts. The answers become more assertive and confident, and it takes less time to respond. It is important to note that there was no rehearsal, and the questions were not previously presented to the subject of the interview. As I said before, however, there is a wish to do this in video and for longer (for 8 hours, for example), to observe the changes in behavior and in the answers themselves.

Here’s the result:
