Here are the individual pieces that I created for my moving body project. The smallest cylinder on the left is worn around the neck, the longer cylinders in the middle are worn over the elbows, and the large cylinders on the right are worn over the knees. The two rectangular pieces at the top and bottom slide over the wrists and hands.
These pieces as a whole were made to force the human body into the same position as the ever-popular Barbie doll. While Barbie is modeled after an ideal woman's body shape, her body position and posture are far from ideal for everyday life. To portray this gap between the supposed ideal body and a human body in real life, I made a stop-motion video of myself wearing these pieces and performing simple, everyday tasks (which were much, much harder to perform since me body was so restricted).
