BODYWORK

I slept overnight (approx 8 hrs) on a 2 meter long piece of craft paper on top of my mattress, without a pillow (to record the movement of my head). The creases recorded my bodily proportions (dimension and weight) and also my movement throughout the night.

I considered placing the 2m long paper over a pillow.

I experimented by lying on an A3 piece of printing paper on top of my pillow. It worked well when it was concerning only my head, so I decided not to sleep with a pillow because it would be an interference in the process.

Variables: mattress softness, type of paper

I wanted to display it vertically, because it felt like a displacement of space. It also gave it a bodily presence; even without context, its bodily relationship is identifiable. The viewer almost mirrors it by viewing it vertically.
