Rendez-View : Where visions meet
<p>
Rendez-View was born from a simple thought :</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Today, traveling has never been easier. </strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
And of course, more travelers means more traveling stories to tell.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Through social medias, and all the images that comes to us, we realise that <em>we already know what the world looks like, even before visiting it. </em> So, we can ask ourselves :</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Is the visions of other travelers on our newsfeeds "polute" our own vision? </strong></p>
<p>
<strong>Or on the contrary, do those points of view make our experience as a traveler more interesting?</strong></p>
<p>
</p>

This is the question I would like to answer, and this is why I created Rendez-View. <strong>Rendez-View is, first of all, a visual experimentation.</strong> To establish the relationship between our vision and the one from an other traveler, we have to bring them face to face. And to do that, I chose one and only field: <strong>one film, to be used by two travelers. </strong></p>

</p>
<p>
The process is simple:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
First, I will give a traveler a camera and its film to a traveler, for him to take pictures during his trip. Once he gets back, and that the film is over, I will get it back, and put it back in the camera, before developing it. Then, I will have to become a traveler myself, to go to the same place as the first traveler, and shoot pictures on the same film. Once developed, the picture will be a reflection of my vision mixed to another travelers’ vision, <em>a way to establish a relationship between those two visions.</em> <strong>Rendez-View is an ambitious, experimental and surprising project, exactly how a good trip should be!</strong></p>

Dear reader, I really need your help to acheive this project!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Donations will a precious help to get the equipement (cameras and films) and to developp the pictures.</p>
<p>
It will also allow me to publish a book about this experience (50 copies). </p>
<p>
And finally, it will help me with the traveling fees. For now, I have four people to follow, in four different cities: Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona and Copenhagen.</p>

If the funding succeeds (which would be absolutely awesome!), some more money could be used to print big pictures, and maybe make an exhibition!</p>

Anyway, thanks for reading!</p>
