1. Make a Statement: Embarrassment is a Temporary Feeling
2 years ago
This was made for a project that was meant to make a statement in the same way Stephen Sagmeister made statements for his What I have learned in my life series.

There is an entire spectrum of feelings that can accompany the idea of being embarrassed. The idea I came up with was to take the most extreme form of embarrassment possible: nudity. It truly became best way to accompany the statement, as nudity, while embarrassing, is only as embarrassing for as long as you are in fact nude. Then the concept was pushed that much farther when it was thought about more than just one person being nude, and what it would be like if there were a group of people in the nude, which would create a various degree of embarrassment both for the people in the pictures, and a stronger embarrassment for the audience as well. Thus a sequence of pictures was taken, in the idea that it would evolve into a flip book, which would start with a group of people in the nude with only each other to be embarrassed with, and after flipping through the book, the image sequence would show them slowly putting their clothes on, until finally they were no longer nude, and in effect, no longer embarrassed.

Unfortunately because flipping through the book is a far different experience than viewing images, I created a video that recreates the same effect described above, so that you don't need to have the flip book to enjoy the experience of embarrassment.
