Transformation of and conversion between materials
Previous work: process of making physical objects and transforming into images/video. Correlation between all work where theres a process of changing the medium before having a finalised product.
Experiment with conversion from image to physical? Change from physical – photo – physical i.e. artist Alex Marie – creating distorted images of the body and then making 3D objects/sculptures out of these. Her work explores the relationship to our bodies and their representation through processes of objectification, fragmentation, magnification and accumulation. The photograph is considered as object.
‘How to represent intimacy, those moments where the other’s body is blown up through proximity and every detail of the skin and body unravels. I have always felt teased by the similarities between skin and the photographic print: both surfaces, both fragile, both ungraspable.’
Alexis Hunter –
Series of photographic images, shoes being destroyed, images capturing the deterioration of the material.
‘Series and narrative’
‘Alexis Hunter uses photography in a distinctly powerful way, as a tool to take control of her own sexuality and buck the expected norms of society and gender stereotypes’
