In Search of the Trojan War Final
For the first iteration my final sketchbook project, I chose to contrast the relationship between the innocence and purity of childhood and the strong, often brutal imagery associated with Nike and war. Nike, as a brand, has many characteristics similar to war, particularly the Trojan War, such as an intense focus on strength, speed, and power. These characteristics contrast sharply with childhood, which is largely soft, gentle, and innocent. My final project juxtaposes these two warring concepts using both video and a performance element. The video component shows a compilation of Nike commercials featuring young children, overlaid with the same mangled Trojan War audio from my 3D sketchbook. The performance component involves me standing next to the video, dressed in Nike clothing with the Grecian helmet from my 3D project, clutching and Nike clad doll and sucking my thumb.
