A lot of my research has been on distorted images, through photography, post production or some kind of layer/covering. Wes Namens 'Scotch Tape' series made me think about physically distorting the body by manipulating its shape. I found loads of artists who play with this idea and want to start experimenting myself.
I'm thinking about wrapping my body parts with string/tape/clingfilm to see how I can manipulate my shape and even focus in on areas I am perhaps not so comfortable with-tummy/thighs etc..if I'm brave enough!
I have also been thinking of other means of distortion
Having a distorted view of self/body dysmorphia
Distorted view of reality
Distorted Memory
Distorting the truth
Distorted perceptions
Creating a distorted view for others to see you as- Facebook Profile/choosing what people see
Distorted conversation/chinese whispers/miscommunication
Distorted sound through walls/underwater/far away
Distorting yourself which make-up/plastic surgery
