Bruise Book

A one-off light activated album, short film and printed books comprising a collection of semi-transparent images of bruising made in collaboration with model / artist Tessa Kuragi.Each bruise is presented in an appropriated album decorated with nautical illustrations. This passive backdrop creates an uneasy juxtaposition to the densely saturated, monochrome realism of damaged flesh.Each bruise can be viewed clearly in isolation using directional light or together the collection forms a combined bruise that lightens with each page turn, mirroring the fading of bruising over time.
