In collaboration with Samantha Navarro and Galadriel Thompson, Figure as Frame is an installation using projected animation to explore the relationship between identity, physical space and the viewer’s relationship with the body as form.
Figure as Frame is installed as part of KCAI’s end of semester show, located in the East Building’s Photo Gallery.
It will open on Friday, December 13th and be on view until Sunday, Dec. 15th.

Figure as Frame, Molly Garrett

Figure as Frame explores the boundless nature of projected animation and it’s ability to free the human figure. This three-part composition consists of personal interpretations and visual experimentation of the body, while retaining coherence through color. As the animation detaches itself from its usual conventions, the figure dismembers itself from the bound body. As the viewer moves through the space, he or she will experience a set of dynamic and surreal animations. This project is embedded in an interest in abstract animation, introspective exploration and the breakdown of the human figure.”
