Student Factory Farming

Student Factory Farming
Stress, frustration, boredom, isolation and ambition. These are the adjectives I got to know better in my exam period of my A - Levels last year. It was mixture between studying, coffee (cigarette) breaks,  breakdowns and questioning. 

Life of students and school changed in this period. It was quite and sterile but I was able to feel nervosity in the air. People are trying everything and pushing hard to receive the grades to enter their chosen university course. I liked this atmosphere.

I decided to record these atmosphere because I started question the U.K. boarding schools system, where parents pay thousands of pounds to get their children to high end universities. 

I noticed that some pupils got insane in order to reach their goals with negative implications of their health and lifestyle, which was shocking for me. These students build up their own honeycomb, each of them in their own unique way. (Nobody took my advice to bring a personal tent)

With this little project I want to share some visuals of the atmosphere of a school building, which is build for efficiency rather than having a pleasant culture for students and it habitants captured in the system. 

(I enjoyed my A - Levels and I am very pleased that I was allowed to study in the UK. Furthermore the support of my Teachers was incredible. I just want to state my opinion of some negative aspects of the efficiency driven eduction system, which I have been part of)
