User:Janis Klimanovs/Term 2.1: shaping your body
Description ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Natural human body is the most beautiful. We are building our body by our selves and it is mirroring who we are. If the body is going to be transformed in an unnatural way, it will be damaged. An error in a humans life can raise a problematic and progressive aspects in the system. Problems can develop by them self and reach an uncontrollable stage. Looking at the printed poster, spectator can experience every tiny detail of the body as pure and natural as it is. On the other hand, the video work is a metaphor which reflects to the digital image in the information age. The digital moving image is exposing a progressive damage. It is an transformation to something that we do not know and can not control. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
