Since I seem to be in a poetic mood this week, here’s another delicate thing of beauty I stumbled across once again while wandering around on the internet.
This bit of stop-motion somnambulance has had plenty of play in the past year, but the artists are now selling off the pieces of this dream, image by image. Talk about memories that disperse through the intertubes and embed themselves in other people’s lives.
Her Morning Elegance music video was made of exactly 2096 still photographs, shot and sequenced to create the sense of movement using stop motion technique. After going from stills to motion, the artists decided to break the motion back to its still form and exhibit the 2096 individual photographs in gallery exhibitions worldwide. Each still photograph will be printed once as a single edition print and sold through this website. Once a photograph is sold, the corresponding second in the video will no longer be available. And with the very last frame sold, the video will have been broken apart, back to its original 2096 pieces, spread worldwide and hung in 2096 houses, bedrooms, living rooms and galleries.
More about the project can be found here.
