THE BANDAGE 2008
EXPLORATION OF ROMAN POLANSKI'S "CHINATOWN". A MAPPING OF JACK NICHOLSON'S CHARACTER (JAKE GITTES) AS REPRESENTED BY HIS NOSE BANDAGE. FROM THE MOMENT HE RECIEVES THAT MEMORABLE SLASH UNTIL THE BANDAGE IS REMOVED, THIS BOOK FOLLOWS HIS PROGRESSION. IN EACH SCENE WHERE THE BANDAGE IS PRESENT, TWO KEY FRAMES ARE REMOVED. FROM THESE FRAMES ONLY THE BANDAGE IS TRACED WHILE MANTAINING THE ORIGINAL ASPECT RATIO. EACH DRAWING BECOMES A SINGLE PAGE INCLUDING SCENE NAME AND TIMECODE. THE FINAL IMAGE COMPILES ALL TRACED FRAMES, REVEALING AN INFOGRAPHIC FOR THE CHARACTER OF JAKE, AS WELL AS GRANTING INSIGHT INTO THE COMPOSTION AND HIERARCHIES OF THE FILM IN GENERAL.
7" x 8.5" . DIGITAL PRINTING ON FOUND PAPER.
