1000 Journals Project
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009
This is the title sequence from the documentary 1000 Journals.
1000 blank journals are passed from hand to hand throughout the world, collecting stories, pictures, collages — slices of the lives they touch. One came back, filled. Where are the other 999? 1000 Journals investigates their worldwide journeys, and chronicles the self-governed collaboration of thousands of random people who added to this global “message in a bottle.”
Incredible. Wow.
More clips here.

Note that there is a book and a DVD which I’ve ordered impulsively already.

I just watched the documentary and it’s killer good. Wow, what a great project and the documentary is fantastic too. I have the book here also and it’s great.
This is a great project and the possibilities to extend it are endless. My brain is cooking on a conflation of mail art, journaling, photography and more.
