"KARMA-COMBAT studies
<tools> > converted laser beam device (3D-scanner)
> Nikon D800 camera- variable exposure times
> tripod camera support
> human body
> "achitectural" context
> experimental drive + instant technical and compositional corrections / serendipity.
<use/composition>
> concept: Karma-combat", a research on "exploring anthropology", movement vs time.
> technical: provoking a long exposure (in a dark environment) and simultaneously "lightpainting" the body.
exploring the human body by converted laserbeam device (3D-scanner abuse)
Movements compose the image-field (distorsions). One body...different creatures in conflict.
No digital image manipulations/ adjustments (photoshop) are used!

> dark room / pulverized human ashes (dust) blown in the air.
<use/composition>
> concept: "ashes to dust, dust to mass...", a research on "upgrading dimensions 1D>4D+".
Get yourself -postmortem- upgraded / reïncarnated.

ref 2/.: "the powers of ten" C&R Eames (1968)
> technical: provoking a long exposure (in a dark space) ashes/dust blown in the air.
<tools>
> Nikon D800 camera - long exposure (human/enviroment-series)
> tripod camera support / remote control.

> used techniques:
- an extended exposure and simultaneous body movements compose
the image field (conflict/distorsions).
- Dimension reduction.
