A screenshot of the beginning of our trip across camps. (final version) For this version of the Exquisite Corpse we attempted to create the figure using video clips of the body in motion. The concept was inspired by Vito Acconci's Following pieces, Janet Cardiff's Alter Bahnhof Video walk, and the surrealist movement. We were first drew a segment of the body that would be focused on in the video out of a hat provided by Mad. (I received the butt and thighs) We then made quick storyboards (pictured above) depicting the route we would be filming. After completing my storyboard I made a trial video of my route to get a better idea of what I wanted in the shot and to make sure that it would take at least 4 minutes to walk. After showing this to my partner we shot the first video, with my butt and thighs center camera. We then (after dealing with my phone battery) re-shot the route but this time with my camera playing the first recording as the main subject. This process was challenging for several different reasons and I'm not completely satisfied with the end product, but I love the concept and might decide to revisit this method of filming in the future. These video segments will be played on four monitors stacked upon each other in the gallery.
