The projections onto my body developed into the appropriation of media imagery. When the image appears on the skin the effect totally changes. The dark shadows around the figure in the projection seem to create a more eerie atmosphere, showing the darker side to the media’s glamorous imagery. I found using figures or body parts such as lips and eyes worked well as they evoke a compassionate response. Although this response is ironically drawn from the image and not the real person it is projected onto!!!! The idea from this is to try projecting previous works onto my body, blurring the boundaries of reality….
The images appearing on the back of a figure seems strange as it is not a part of the body normally associated with desire, which the images are trying to evoke. It makes the back seem more sensuous almost. The back turned towards the viewer also shows a sense of vulnerability, as the flesh is exposed to this projection.
