TEXTUALIZING This kind of aesthetic is the starting point. There were problems, of course. There are always problems. But this kind of shot solved several problems: 1. The projections highlighted the tiniest movements of the body. Thus, making the shots more dynamic. 2. I've been struggling with the different texts I've been reading. People gave some great responses, (tell me how you sleep) and I found some interesting information about sleep disorders. The problem, obviously, was how to communicate the information. Using this aesthetic, I can play with that information in a very concrete way. I'm sure some of you find this kind of shot a little didactic. Well, tough. I'm a fucking poet. I like it like that. 3. I also like the way the body and the text appear more fluid. The text brings out every contour. And Dude. Look how sexy it looks. Don't pretend you're not a little aroused. I'm very guilty of sexualizing the body, but I hope to counter-act the sexualization with the text I choose. I'm planning on medical texts, plain language, disturbing passages. The text should always play off (not speak to) the part of the body that it's projected on. :: see clip (1.66 MB)
