| Interview with Ellie Harrison: |
 | | No. 0727: Week 21 |
Hi Ellie. Why?
I've always been quite obsessed with food and made quite a lot of artwork to do with food.
It just seemed like a good idea to set myself a challenge of trying to document everything I ate for a year. |
Was there an academic reason?
Well, I did get a degree that says well done. |
 | | No. 1113: Week 34 |
Was it tied in to that?
Yes. I started on 11th March 2001, which was my 22nd birthday so by the time of the degree show in May I showed a kind of animation of the first eight weeks of the project.
So that went towards my degree. |
Does this mean that for a year you've carried a camera absolutely everywhere?
Yeah. That's exactly what it means. The camera's not too big. It's a digital camera so I didn't have to have any processing costs. It's not that big but I couldn't leave my house without it. |

What was the most difficult bit?
Just remembering. But it wasn't that hard it just became such a part of my life that I never really forgot.
I was so obsessed with the fact that I wanted to do it for a year that it wasn't that hard at all. |
Is there a picture we really wouldn't want to see?
There's probably quite a few actually - early morning shots when I wish I was still in bed. |
 | | No. 1598 : Week 52 |
Any more crazy ideas planned?
I don't know. But, since the finish of the project I've kind of gone a bit wild with the eating because I've got so much freedom and I am so carefree when I eat.
I can actually open the fridge and eat whatever I like without having to take a picture of it first. |
You're not on a diet then?
I'm on a 'see-food' diet. |
