Am thinking.. what could i do with these black lights?! i did a shoot with david & callen (3rd year VCA dance) today, which i will shortly upload after i finish this blog post…
and i showed david the bits and pieces (by junior boys) film clip, which i have uploaded in a previous post.. and he asked me.. are the dancers dressed while covered in the UV paint? since they're covered by this "light" and paint.. does that make them dressed?! I mean, what do we even define as being dressed.. fabric is only really one medium to dress, essentially, obvious it makes up just about 100% of the fashion market… (as far as i know) .. what else could people wear, that isnt textile based.. even things that aren't like.. bubble wrap of chicken wire.. that are more like liquid… .. liquid latex?! too dominatrix.. my garments are sexual enough thank-you!!!

anyway, this clip from Momix.. something david showed me as a response to the junior boys film clip is amazing, when i was younger i used to dance, and even then they did things like, place two kids in a three legged suit… so give the appearance of a two headed, three legged gentleman.. Optical illusion using black lights is just another step
… The dancers also suggest we do some sort of collaborative re-take on the junior boys film-clip, kept calling the dancing jazz.. i can't tell.. i bet they can't tell the difference between silk and nylon taffeta either… ahaha… I love the idea of inter disciplinary collaboration… i don't like to discriminate with design, i think that all creation requires design…
