The Bride....

This video is a stop motion animation, it also deals with my previous work de-construction.Im using one of my earlier works for this.The idea of treating art as "precious" is what im trying to re-invent. It is the cycle of de-construction that again gives birth to construction of something new.Im using clothes as metaphors in my work....
The bride ... deals specifically with a gender unlike in de-construction ... the female. The feeling of abandonment... something being present yet also being absent. it is about how the visual is changing and playing with the viewers emotions... the structure initially has a presence of its own volume, and mass.. n slowly when it starts to cripple down and unravel infront of our eyes, its unexpected , abrupt and tehers a deliberate attempt of de-construction.teh body is deformed , the skeleton remains.
As for the display im wanting to project the video in a big heavy gold classical frame like from the classical period in which paintings were framed...It will project the still of the Dress so it looks like a painting from a distance and then the video will start playing after a while.

  1. I very much like the reference to bird feathers. I wonder how it could be made more melancholic? making the movement and edits between photos smoother or slower? feathers are also about freedom and flight, and metaphorically the soul versus the body. I am not sure about the presence of the skeleton in the end though. perhaps there should be nothing left of you if there is no flight?
