8.12.20 Restraint or protection?
I posted the video of the performance of me wearing Body cage 1 on social media and also presented it to the MA Fine Art Informal Crit group. I had some very useful and interesting feedback about it:
- Avoid portrait when videoing with a phone
- 'I like that the bands looks as if it's not joined' ( Appartition, illusion?)
- Unexpected setting, suburban garden
- Film or still? Good contrast with the environment
- An object of torture
- Metal, medieval
- The person is important and that it's metal
- How about combining this with knitting somehow?

There are a number of things I'd like to follow up from this feedback:
Practicalities-
- make videos landscape when using a phone.
Ideas-
Sound The clanking sound as I walk makes such a difference... and it was an unexpected bonus. I hadn't realised that it would make a noise. It sets the scene and adds another sensory dimension. If I'm considering ways to make my work multisensory, working on sound could be an interesting addition to my work, especially if it will need to be seen (heard?) digitally. Think of Nick Cave's Soundsuits and Marcus Coates' drumming.
Pharmakon
Bride's scold
Links to restraint for women suspected of witchcraft
Iron maiden
Crinolines

Medieval
Restraint/ claustrophobia.... makes me think of strait jackets, and the strait jacket wearable sculpture I made for B-Wing.
