Dazed and Confused magazine invited me to re mix their edition on British Youth Culture using photographs by Hedi Slimane.

I wanted to convey the idea of breaking apart and transforming something into a beautiful, flowing movement of imagery which links and works together to form something new. For the subject matter I've broken apart the helmet photo, forming symmetrical shapes. The idea is to start off with a full helmet and finish with an intricate web of inter connecting shapes made up of elements from the helmet and various other armor.

The technique I've used is to print out the images, photo copy them, then photo copy the copy, and so on until the image forms a completely different shape. These are then scanned back in to the computer and cut put together like stop frame animation. It gives it quite a low-fi organic feel. Various images are then colourised in bright neons every few frames
