The Unknown Collaborator - Trouble in Paradise: The Exhibition
We moved our figures from their final pose back to being sat in the corner so that people viewing the exhibition would be more inclined to interact with them

The Unknown Collaborator - Trouble in Paradise: The Exhibition

The Unknown Collaborator - Trouble in Paradise: Studio Shoot
Took them to the studio to document our creations
The Unknown Collaborator - Trouble in Paradise: The Exhibition
Moving our characters every working day for two weeks, as a group we displayed the narrative of our two characters falling out of love and slowly but surely almost getting back together again. People really enjoyed seeing them move around as the week progressed
The Unknown Collaborator - Trouble in Paradise: Installation
Putting them into their first position whilst the rest of the exhibition goes up. We chose spooning as their first position as it showed a strong connection between the two of them and we also found they were nice to cuddle up with, hoping to encourage people to interact with them as well
The Unknown Collaborator - Trouble in Paradise: Taking the Kids to School
Getting them to Uni in a shopping trolley, gained a lot more strange looks than we expected
The Unknown Collaborator - Trouble in Paradise: Final Figure
First pair of assembled legs and then the full figure sat on my chair
The Unknown Collaborator - Trouble in Paradise: Pattern Cutting
Scaled up the rag doll pattern to create our oversized figures, shown in reference to myself and Katy for size
The Unknown Collaborator - Trouble in Paradise: Rag doll sketch
Drawings by Katy thinking about how our figures will interact within the trouble in paradise theme. We set on the idea that our characters will be moved daily, eventually falling out of love and very almost getting back together again.
After a few tutorials we moved away from the Adam and Eve idea, deciding on not gendering the figures, making them more anonymous yet relatable to different sexualities and gender identities
