Codex (1987) - Philippe Decouflé
Codex was a work I saw during my lecture on Post-Modernism. The use of lighting is really interesting with the use of silhouettes and then the squares of light aswell. Above is part 1 (I think), with the Egyptian-like silhouette figures. The shapes are very two-dimensional even though you can see the movements as three-dimensional. It will be interesting to see if I can recreate this during next week's session when we play with movements.

Yes - quite an intriguing play between silouhette and three dimensionality. I wonder to what extent you might play with mixing strong backlight (for silouhette) with a tiny bit of side or front light to get a sense of the contours of the body...
