Our aim was to find everyplace in London which sold Chicken Schnitzel. We walked around for about 3 days in total collecting information and tracking where we had visited. When back in the studio we had piles of menus, addresses and photographs of our adventure. Using all this we marked out all the places on a giant map of london, colour-coding all the places who sold it and who didn't.
Deciding what we were going to do with all the information and present it as a shrine was the hardest part. We wanted it to look like something which had be obsessed over, showed commitment to the subject, and also showed some 'handy skills'. Our first idea was to have a giant collage which combined the areas of the map which showed the restaurants and the other gridded areas on the map would be made up of collage work layered up of all the information, papers and photographs we had. This seemed a good way to combine and show everything we collated, but it needed some order to be able to viewed well in the portrait photograph which was to be submitted for exhibition
The final piece we submitted, was a series of gridded squares combining the information, tracking and maps we collated.
