Fear/object exercise

I don't really know what you mean by do something so I will try and describe what I would do if I had the time. Today is my 30th birthday and well I am afraid of getting old. So in class we were asked to use the pizza box as our object and relate it to fear. Initially I tried to think of something scary that had to do with pizza boxes and the only thing I could think of was this show I watched when I was a kid about roaches in mass quantities eating everything/everyone in sight. So I began to think what I could do with that Idea and it made me think of aging and rotting. I decided that my thing that I would do is illustrate the life cycle of a pizza box using time lapse photography over a one year period of time. I would start with a couple of punk college kids eating in a wooded area, they would discard there trash by leaving it just where it was when they were finished eating and then I would photograph the box through the seasons and watch it age and rot until the box had almost dissolved into the earth. Perhaps throwing up subliminal captions during the time lapse that help to narrate the story and relate the imagery to our own story of living and dying.
