Say what you see!

The idea of this experiment was to try and understand how people interpret images and also if there is anyway in which you can influence people so they all "see" the same thing. First I chose 3 images at random and gave them to people to interpret, I asked there asge occupation, if they have any siblings and asked them to make up a story or say what they see. Below are the images I chose and also some of the stories I got back.

We were on holiday abroad- it was summer and really hot. We went to the zoo and saw the gorillas. The zoo was on the top of a mountain and we looked down and saw the beach with the beautiful blue water. We decided to go down towards it but unfortunately it wasn’t as nice as we thought.

On arriving on the North Beach I thought it looked like an ex-prison, but then I saw some caged gorillas left in what looked like a disaster area. I realised something must have happened recently. I sailed around to the next cove which looked Idyllic.

The story is about breaking free to a more exotic place. It is like being trapped and wanting to escape to paradise.

A gorilla escapes from his cage and damages everything to get to a faraway place. A nicer place that he remembers.
