The Body Time Machine

  • Tomomi Koseki
This is my final year project at University.

Concept:
When we are children, our bodies are small. If we scale up our childhood perceptive what will happen? As an investigation into this, I made my parents’ clothes according to my current body size based on a family photograph, aiming to scale the clothes to scale the past body memory. I discovered that changing the scale of our clothes could evoke past body feelings. Thus, my project functions as a device to recall body memory, to journey through our body transitions, whilst also becoming a device to renew the perception of our body: “The Body Time Machine”.
