Sketch for the video

A big part of the installation will be the video. Our idea is to combine the three rites of passage (birth, wedding and death) in a visually interesting way. Here is Oona's and Mercede's sketch for it:

The video is filmed 17 times, each time with different outfits. After filming the material will be edited into an interactive video with 17 different layers that the viewer will be able to switch at the installation.

An installation + Website documentation

After browsing through plenty of interesting YouTube material, NEiD project pictures and sharing our knowledge from our previous projects, the form of the Rites of Passage visualization started to clear up.

We decided to build up an installation, which includes a room and within the room is a video projected (and controlled interactively). The theme of the video is birth, wedding and death and most of the clothes and accessories designed for the NEiD 2008 project will be presented on the video.

Among the installation we will create a website which will include the same video as at the installation + background information of the objects and outfits that was seen on the video.
