Dissolving Film day



From looking at artist such as Sam Taylor wood which we all though reflect slow is beautiful, we though we should play around with dissolvable fabric as it could look similar to something slowly decaying. Everyone rented out cameras, tripods and different lighting so we could film at different angles and everyone was very much involved. Josie created some tester samples on the embroidery machine and see what they looked like when we dissolved them and how effective they were film wise. Grace created a hand embroidery piece consisting of French knot and other embroidery techniques which had similarities to what the inside of the body would look like which linked well to our main theme in our project looking at hidden elements (Manchester) inside a jacket.  




We looked at dissolving things on the actual body. An example shown below of emma's arm and a dissolvable sample Josie did. As the fabric around it starts to dissolve it looks every similar to veins but on the outside of the body. Similar to Gunther Von Hagens work with veins. Looks like the veins growing/moving on the outside of the arm. Which could be linked to ageing.. slowly as you get older you veins get more extenuated. 



For some reason the dissolving arm film is not come up on my youtube so here is the link above
