Thermē

How would human flesh represent in the world of temperature? With our own body, silhouette, and skin, with touch, interaction and exchange? In the gradient of ink,  I am using this opportunity to explore – how can I use temperature as my pigment, and how intimate, sensuous bodies compose a poetic song.

 

experiment & findings:

it’s cold to do it in winter./cold body in hot water works. /depending on your body temperature image has different contrast. the temperature of your body even on a small portion is not even./it not only detects temperature but also contrasts – the exposure. the movement would make it recalculate.
