Pipilotti Rist: Eyeball Massage (Video Response) ft Michael Kors A/W 2014 collection at New York Fashion Week

      Over the weekend, I spent a lot of time on creating this response video to artist, Pipilotti Rist who recently did an exhibition at the Hayward Gallery. I thought the exhibition was very creative and attached in the sense that all the pieces followed the same sort of trend effect, however there were other pieces which really stood out to me. The exhibition as a whole was brightly colourful and bold and everything was practically hard to miss, there were various installations which were very appealing and inspirational, thus why I created this video and now I have a reason to do a direct response to this project. The majority of Rist's work was produced in the 1990's and it is very similar to the effects which Mac Photobooth has, hence that could be another experimentation I could carry out using a different media. 

     Despite this, the video I created was supposed to resemble Rist in my own way and due to the theme involving mono, I decided to use the colour blue due to the video I used. The video is a youtube video from a channel called, 'Fashion Channel'. It features the current A/W 2014 Michael Kors collection from New York Fashion Week, hence fashion week inspired me to use a designer which I felt related to our project. I really like Michael Kors collection this season due to it also having a slight mono colouration in his garments. Plus, the structure of some of his garments work very nicely and with how they hang on the body is extremely flattering on some of the models. Vogue.com quote,

          "In his eyes—and in his clothes—we do all lead those beautiful lives. He brings the fantasy of fashion into reality, in part, by distilling some of its most outrageous ideas into something that offers just enough newness to make you feel participant in the larger message without making you struggle with the sometimes challenging proportions, colours, or details."

    Furthermore, I have added effects to the original video and cropped scenes to make the video easier to watch and make it easier for viewers to see how I tried to relate it to Pipilotti Rist's own work. Below are some examples of the works I saw at the Gallery. Unfortunately, these aren't my own pictures as I wasn't allowed to take pictures within the exhibition…
