IN SITU MOULDING ...I...HUMAN FORM AS UPHOLSTERED FLEXIBLE FOAM

In the automotive industry, flexible and semi-flexible polyurethane foams are used extensively for the interior components such as car seats. The seat manufacturer has a mold for each seat model that will allow quick casting of the seat cushion -the molded flexible foam- which will then be upholstered after removal from the mold. The combination of these two steps is possible through in-situ foam-in-fabric or direct moulding . LEFT MARTIN MARGIELA, PHOTOGRAPHY MARK BORTHWICK. RIGHT PANAMARENKO, POLISTES, 1975.

TRIEBKRAFT / PETER SAVILLE

CREATED FOR THE ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED BY THE MAYOR OF LONDON IN 2009, PETER SAVILLE'S 'ILLUSIONS' VIDEO TACKLES THE PROBLEM OF MOTORISTS MISJUDGING THE SPEED OF MOTORBIKES. THE SET OF SCREENCAPS FROM THIS VIDEO HERE IS NOT ONLY A LATERAL BRIDGE BETWEEN MY PREVIOUS AND FOLLOWING ENTRIES, BUT IS ALSO IN LINE WITH MY VIDEO TRIEBKRAFT THAT I WILL BE SHOWING DURING THE AVANTGARDE DIARIES : IN TRIEBKRAFT, MAN BECOMES MACHINE AND CLOTHES BECOME VEHICLE PARTS. BOTH VIDEOS END WITH A CRASH.
