graduation project
video

A short movie ( 2.32 minutes ) that illustrates the influence of a group on the identity of an individual.. and the other way around. It shows the stratification caused by the influence that people have on each others appearance.

This graduation project is a cooperation with Cris Bartels.

Besides stills taken from the movie the following book features the proces of making the movie and detailed pictures of the photoshoot. The book is separated into two pages because of the large number of images.

Video and photography
One who suffers from Body Dysmorphic Disorder becomes pre-occupied with a non-existent or minimal cosmetic defect and persistently seeks medical attention to fix it surgically. ‘Verlopen’ ( Dutch for both ‘making a transition’ and ‘expired’ ) is a cooperation with Cris Bartels. The project illustrates the increasing urge of seemingly being able to create real beauty, caused by the influence of Body Dysmorphic Disorder on our perception of beauty.

In preperation of the photoshoot, a fullscale painting was made by creating a number of transitions in beauty on one canvas (layer on layer).
Snapshots of this proces were edited and then beamed on a model, which has been filmed and photographed.
At the end of this proces ‘Verlopen’ resulted in a short movie and a serie of seventeen pictures ( appart from the pictures in detail ).
