trial projections

After many calls and message conversations with amazon I finally received my projector that I was after. Then the experiments could begin. I first started projecting the black mirrored images to see what kind of effects that would create on a mannequin. I loved how it looked and started playing with the scale and placement of the projections. I was surprised with how much I loved the images. Most of the time I believe the images looked best placed right on the center of the body, showing the body’s central point and replicating the inner workings of the body and how some of it is mirrored inside. I found that many of my designs replicated clothing and necklines which was a great help in seeing the context. I started playing with the projections so that I could get each piece to look as much like a piece of clothing as possible placing it in the most appropriate place.

Next I started playing around with the coloured designs I had done. These looked amazing on the mannequin and I loved how they came out bright and bold just like I had hoped. These also replicated clothing in some ways and it was fun to play around with the size and placement again. Similar to the black images the coloured ones also looked best with the images placed in the centre. It reminds me of the cells and veins that would be mirrored for both sides of the body. After trialling them many times it was then time to look back at the photos and see which ones I liked.
