Riikka Kupsala: Repeating Performances: Body Control
In this two channel video there is three acts which express the passage of time and control of the body. There is, side by side, a video about a beauty routine and an animation about a product or a body part related to beauty routines. I photographed my perfume bottle, hairbrush, and toes on daily basis during a few months for creating animations from pictures. I also recorded some beauty routines that I used to do in my everyday life. In the first act is a video of applying deodorant on an armpit next to an animation of an emptying parfume bottle. In the second act the video is of blucking eyebrows and the animation presents the growth of nails and hair on toes. In the third act is a video of hands braiding hair and an animation of a hairbrush being covered with more and more hair. Audio on this video is based on natural sounds from these beauty routines.
