OPEN TASK 2
I extended one of images from my [Siteworks II] work to produce a gif.
I am in love with the 1960s and 70s minimalism and conceptual art movement, and I find a lot of my views of art influenced by the attitudes of that time.
For example, right after my first studio session in week 1, I felt very passionate and dramatic about art and wrote myself a manifesto-type list of 'rules' for my art:

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.
