Projections of drawings on to Vincent

After looking at the samples we went on to using some of the photos we had take of our drawing and seeing how that translated on the human figure. Some images were more successful then other. I felt the ones with the bright colour were the most successful like the image just above. 

Projections on Vincent

The second session we had with Vincent was a lot more successful then the first, the colours of our samples were brighter and bolder. We combined all our samples and the big drawing we had done to project on to his bare chest and see what different body textures it would create. These images just look amazing by themselves each one is so interesting and has so much texture to it. 

Hidden in the jacket

I had brought a jacket for all the samples to be projected on at the beginning of project and decided i wanted to create an embrodiary sample hidden inside the jacket that looked like the inside of the body. Connecting all of the different ideas we had been looking at. 

The sample turned out better then i expected except I put the sample a bit tooo far in the jacket so you could not seen it at all when the jacket is being worn, it is hidden to the extreme. 

Dissolving onto the body

I experimented with small dissolvable samples and see what they would look like dissolving on the chest.

I found these piece not as successful as the group dissolvable session but it was intriguing to see how they changed and the dissolvable material at the end looked like grease on the body

Dissolvable sample stop motion

Learning how to use imove I experimented with using stills of a sample I hand done and bringing it into imovie to create a short stop motion film. The sample was a hand embroidered piece slowly growing. The embroidery sample was inspired by the inside of the body using different embroidery techniques. 

Samples used in projecting session second time

It was so interested looking at the inside of bodys that i feel it inspired my samples they look like organisms that would be seen inside the body, so therefore it was very interesting to see them projected on the outside of emma's body and onto garements. 

Our samples all link really well but are very different and reflect each of us which is so key when working in a group. It shows we work well together but have our own individual stamp!

First Projection Session

When finding out we had to make our final out come digital we decided to project our samples we had done so far on to a white shirt to link to looking at hidden Manchester within a shirt. The shirt was open to create this effect.  This was the first time the group was using film equipment so everyone was experimenting with different angles. We also looked at having not only a shirt but what it would look like if some one was wearing the shirt as shown in the film. These projections were really successful and a great start to what we wanted our project to look like.

Iris Van herpen

I looked at her when I was doing the 3D workshop and found this film on a really cool site called Sex Mode and Digestion. It is a really weird and quite freaky film but you can’t look away. Here clothing is insane and pushes the boundaries of fashion. Her work also has a body feel to is mimicking the skeleton and focusing on complementing the form

I cant put the film up but here is the link to it

However there is a film by the same guy that i could access on youtube which looks at milk





Zombie Boy

I was just researching further on the internet about the body and veins as I feel this would be quite an interesting way to make a garment that is actually the veins of a body.  I came across this insane guy known as ‘zombie boy’ who has had his whole body tattooed like a skeleton even his head has a brain on it. He has become a household name in the fashion industry as no one has seen anything quite like him. He appeared in this fashion show by MUGLER called ‘anatomy of change’.  He is filmed with just a simple piece of black chiffon fabric blowing over his body and it looks so amazing just seeing elements of his skeleton figure.

Here is a video of the same guy ‘zombie boy’ being used for a foundation advert. He is covered with foundation and reveals parts of his self. Taking a layer of skin away to reveal his skeleton (his real skin) I prefer the vein idea in my previous post with the jacket but the story about this guy is so fascinating. Made me think of every garment could be a layer of something and slowly reveal the last layer as your body as if the body was slowly decomposing through each piece of clothing.Slowely but beautifully.   

Samples inspired by the body

Similar to Gunther Von Hagens work with veins. The samples have organ like qualities. 'Hidden gems' doesnt have too just reflect the inside of Manchester It could reflect the inside of the body. This element could also be links to 'slow is beautiful'  ageing you slowly get older and your veins become more excentuated.

Human Veins

The scientist/artist Gunther von hagens is the creator of body worlds. He invented a technique which can preserve the biological tissue called plastination. These images are his creation. I in fact get quite sick when I look at blood and even though I know these pictures are of real blood, they are so beautiful I can take my eyes of them. I want to do some studies of these in my sketch book.
