Documentation: The Flash

For my personal space project, I collaborated with Noah and Fernando, creating the provocative paparazzi personal space project known as The Flash.

The Flash project involved us being a provocative paparazzi that would throw off students walking out of the UCSB UCen.

The manner in which we created the personal space was by approaching students that were distracted with electronics while walking and getting in their face to report on their new role in the film “Chalupas & Beer” co-starred by Seth Rogan and James Franco. As I asked this, Fernando would be unrolling the red carpet in front of our upcoming star while Noah would be bombarding us with flash form the pictures.

The results were rewarding! With some students fully complying and smiling throughout the whole enactment while others curbed around the red carpet (not to mention a girl that came back furious to ask what the pictures would be used for).

The majority of these enactments would begin with a complete confusion from students but as we facilitated the conversation, these students gained the confidence to remain in the enactment as they smiled walking over the red carpet themselves!
