House of Cards: Nothing Matters
The House of Cards project is a multi pieced assignment made to take a poem and visually express the content with type, photography, and form. For my House of Cards I used the poem Nothing Matters by Albert Camus, the father of existentialism. The following contents are the final product along with the process work.
Albert Camus
Albert Camus is a French Existentialist from first half of the 20th century. He is famous for being a torch bearer for the Existentialist philosophy movement. He is famous for writing the award winning book The Stranger and being one of the great writers of history. This project is centered around a poem based on The Stranger, known as “Nothing Matters”.
Existentialism is the philosophical movement that suggest life has no true meaning or end goal. That our goal is to live life then pass.
Critics of Existentialism see the idea as cynical and overly oppressing. Existentialist’s, however, see the ideas of Existentialism as liberating. The idea that nothing matters in the end allows one to live life as one sees fit.
