How can stop-motion animation use everyday objects, like clothing, to explore personal identity and transformation?
I examined the expression of material, body and identity in my work where I explored how common things like paper and cardboard display the relationships between things. I took photos of them in various locations where there were stairwells, window sills, in front of houses, on the street and in the grass. When I saw heaps of paper and cardboard in front of a house I started to think what that says about the person, about the way he or she lives, his or her consumption habits and the rhythm of his or her every-day life. Although these are temporary objects, there are remnants of the body that utilizes them and the culture that creates these objects. Stop motion animation made me understand that a transformation can be made even of the most banal objects. The sound of crumpling, the smell of coffee or food, or the traces of rain on a cardboard is the elements of a new story. By doing so objects no longer remain a mere waste, they start to talk of identity, about what lies concealed in the habits, in impermanence and towards the environment. This exercise enabled me perceive material as a continuation of the body and a testament of life. On my page Hotglue page the staged images create a daily map of relationships, in which mundane objects are evidences of impermanence, consumption and change.
