The body as a canvas

Wearing the projections like clothings or as if it were almost becoming their skin.

Eva Mueller- A photographer specialising in fashion, beauty, projection. Her projection work tends to have imagery that suits the form of the body or drastically juxtaposes the space. Mainly through her work I’ve noticed an industrial theme, harsh images, textures and shames. Her juxtaposes serious messages and themes against a colourful, bright, fashion style settings.

Materials

Testing materials:

Voile, net, scrim

I'm planning on testing and experimenting with the different fabrics to see which works best with the projections and gives the desired effect.

Things to consider
-thickness
-size of weaving
-transparency
-amount of light that bounces back
-whether to do rear or front projections
-what to do with the light that spills from around, through and behind the fabric

Testing

Seeing as I don't have a projector I borrowed and built a cardboard and lens version. I can test footage on my mobile phone which sits at the back of the box and is then projected out into a dark room from the magnifying lens.

The tests will be small and low quality but it allows me to try things out before I hire electronic projectors.

Projecting onto a thin material- represents the clothes and will be slightly distorted to express the body image and identity.

"Tips On Minimizing Bounce Light

1. Rear-screen projection is less affected by ambient light than front-screen projection, so work with rear-screen techniques whenever possible.
2. All Rosco screens have a matte front to deflect ambient light.
3. Deaden the reflective quality of the floor by using Rosco Tough Prime Black, or Supersaturated Black mixed with Rosco Clear Flat as a sealer.
4. Hang a seamless black scrim at least 2" in front of the screen. The scrim will absorb the light without affecting image quality.
5. Adjust the image or the screen to two feet or more above the stage floor so that bounce light is reflected below the screen.
6. Make sure lighting instruments in the vicinity of the screen are angled to reduce light being thrown directly on the screen.
7. Use high-hats and barn doors to focus light off of or around the screen.
8. Have the actors maintain a "neutral zone" at four feet from the screen so that lighting them with backlight and sidelight is easier.
9. Maximize the brightness of the image by using high contrast imagery when working with projection materials. Keep the image size as small as possible, and use the proper focal length lens. Keep the projector as close to the screen as possible." http://rosco.com/stage/screens_tech.cfm
