Final Project Ruminations

I am thinking of doing a short non-narrative piece that explores themes that have cropped up working on the excursion piece with Parrot in the Tank, specifically the creation of different realities, and the disparity and overlap between two simultaneous pieces of moving image. I'm thinking split screen, projections, the viewer interacting with the footage, various surfaces and how they interact with the footage.

Here are some pieces that I have found inspiring:



I want to experiment with projecting onto people, projecting things interacting with their bodies. I want to play with projecting a person's own image onto themselves and what can be achieved with that.


Only the Brave, an ad for Diesel jeans (don't you just love how mysterious advertising can be?) which plays with simultaneity in a tryptich format. Three individual stories, lined up side by side tell a fourth story. How can I play with simultaneous action, perhaps having a person interact with themself (and projection as well).

I'm thinking things traveling through the body, and into other people's bodies, through projected elements that show what's inside. Cutting a person open, by laying an image over them. Picture Frida Kahlo's "Las Dos"



How do people disappear into their environment?
