What started off as another quick experiment has some very interesting results. I started to project previous pieces of work on to my body. This gives old work a new lease of life but also a new meaning. The photos of me projected onto my body create this strange juxtaposition. The viewer is not always sure of which is reality and which is fiction. This confusion is created as my image appears the same in both, but it also makes us question what is being shown. Its an interesting idea that our image and our actual bodies can create this almost spot the difference effect.
This idea was to try to line up a straight on portrait of me so that it appears in its correct scale on my back. Though it's not perfectly lined up (as proved difficult) you can see the kind of effect I wanted, where it takes a second glance from the viewer to see what is wrong. It is almost as if this is me, through and through, like a piece of candy-cane rock where the message is the same throughout. How I present myself in this projected image is therefore vital, and I would like to play around with this further.
