Face Warp
The idea is inpired by the movie „39,90“ (or 99F in the original title). In the beging of the film the maincharacter is looking into a mirror. His face is changing in diefferent parts, while he is looking into the mirror. His nose, his eyebrows and his chin are changing to parts of another person. I want to recreate this experience in a different way. For that i am photographing eight different persons (man and woman). The pictures will show the same neutral mien with the same light and the same crop. The face will change in different parts in the installation. These parts will be: mouth/chin, eyes/nose and form of the head/hair/ears. Size of the room will be 1.30 meter width and 3.50 meter length. The walls will be painted black to bring the focus to the Screen placed at the end of the room. To change the size of the room, i will use panels. The first face you will see will allways be the same. A ultrasonicsenor used by a arduino will detect the location of the person in the room. It begins to react with a length of three meters and begins with that distance to change the face in parts. If you take a step back the face will change backwords. In the whole distance the face will change seven times. These changes will need one second and will blend the different pieces together. The Screen will be controlled by a raspberry pi.
