Shapeshifter

Shapeshifter from Mark Sniadecki on Vimeo.

Using a combination of filters and settings to reduce the original video to a basic hard outline--its essential forms--I then explore the effects of breaking and bending that original form, through illusion and through further manipulation of the filters. With the interior details hidden from the eye, viewers can only follow the evolving lines of the subject and have no choice but to consider an alternative reality where the body is not a static human form.
