Cultural impressions

Posted January 19, 2012.

Walking around doing my interviews today I came across this:

It is an abandoned layout of a house made in small stone and pebbles by a child. It got me thinking about how we learn and what is culturally impressed in us from a young age. This layout would be accurate for more than 80% of houses in the village: a central front opening that leads into a first room, that leads through another central opening into a closed back room. It pretty amazing how a child has noticed and repeated this. It won’t have been conscious though, it’s just a repetition of what already is. Creating out future from the effect of our past experiences. What do we unwittingly recreate in our lives, thinking it is something we have decided to do, which is actually unwittingly moulded in us by society?
