Intricate Details
The predominant theme of our video 'Intricate Details' is the everyday aesthetics of doorknobs. Our sub-theme is the concept of 'wear and tear' and the intricate aspects that are associated with this object, which gradually deteriorate over time. The focus of this video is to draw attention to the mundane objects that are overlooked in everyday life (Murray 2008). The 'wear and tear' aspect of the doorknobs is emphasised in the video by the lines, cracks, paint, grime and rust of this object. These aesthetics symbolise the inherent characteristics of a household ageing throughout time, aesthetics which are largely overlooked in our everyday lives.
