Slow motion recreation of the Flagellation of Christ. With the use of slow motion I not only revert slightly to the idea of the still painting but to give the viewer time to reflect on and study the new image that is portrayed in front of them before it moves on to a different image all together. The slow motion gives the viewer time to reflect on the images. Initially you see the painting, eventually noticing this is in fact a painting in motion. Through slow motion I create a mystery, distorting and questioning the viewers perspective, is it a painting, photo or video has the image moved or changed, The viewer may doubt themselves on their first assumption, drawing them to reevaluate their thinking of the artwork, what it is about, what it displays and what they take from the artwork. My work looks at the imagery of the human body; how we are and how we have changed, looking at the idea of the human body as a work of art.
