David Lynch Interview Project
In the “David Lynch Interview Project,” Americans are randomly selected and asked to share their personal stories.
“There was no plan… the people who were interviewed, each was different…. The team found the people driving along the roads, going into bars, going into different locations, and there they were. The people told their story.”
Subjects were found randomly—in bars, on the sides of roads—and encouraged to talk about whatever was on their mind. Interviews range from Suzy of Abington, VA, who discussed her family tree removal business, to Kelly of Cushing, Oklahoma, who spoke about his struggle to find food, to Kee of Tuba City, AZ, who talked about his life on a Navajo reservation. While the project was active, conversations were posted online once every three days; today, website visitors can sort interviews by subject name or their location.
We can use a very similar approach when carrying out interviews, approaching random subjects, hearing their stories about the town of Rjukan and their experiences/opinions
