the illusion of breathing.

BMC is very provocative to my thought process at the moment as it is my main training at the moment. I had a very intense experience with it the other week.. which has left me continually thinking about it and thus I wanting to explore it further. It can make you connect very closely to emotions that are firmly placed (sometimes very hidden) within your body. It can also really open your imagination and possibilities the body contains. When exploring BMC you are made to visualise and try and connect with the body on a level that is real yet illusionary. What I am finding very relevant at the moment to my project is how much it relies on the mind's imagination and feeling. I am intrigued to see how this creative imagery can be translated in a frame.. the captured frame of the video camera. I find that even though BMC is so inherit to understanding the organic body it comes from an abstract thought process. It is this abstraction that I find relates to the illusion of a cameras frame because it is a set vision, composition and focus, which is a similar concept as exploration in BMC.

Below is my first attempt at achieving this quality between aesthetic and feeling of dance and BMC exploration.
