NEW KINDS OF MEASUREMENTS OF THE BODY PART 2

Brief:

1 week

You are required to revisit the works you made & re-construct/re-organise & re-configure these works

Cracking the dried pastry:

Eblogger wont let me upload the images for this project either so I made a slideshow of the process of this project.

45 MINUTES MEASURING MY BODY TEMPERATURE:

(Photographed for 1 hour also.. IT GOT REALLY HOT IN THERE)

I first looked at moss growing as the pastry layers had started forming mould and they reminded me of moss but i realised that it takes weeks to grow moss and also it would have no relationship to a new kind of measurement of the body. The mould from the pastry’s was starting to smell really bad so cracked them into little pieces and I bagged them in seal proof bags, I poured milk into the bags too. It started to look like cereal. From there I started thinking about body heat and heat on the skin, I wanted to record a new way to measure body temperature so I created an aluminium tent and sat in it wrapped in more aluminium. I photographed and video recorded the whole process. I sat for 1 hour, took a break and then for 45 minutes recording every 5 – 10 minutes my temperature with a thermometer. It was really hot in there and my temperature rose by 1 Degree Celsius for 45 minutes and by 1.5 Degrees Celsius for 1 hour. I also got a sheet of pig skin from a butcher which is located at my studio desk. I researched Joseph Beuys and Wim Delvoye for this.
