Justine Cooper | Australia | 1998 | 5' | | IFFR 1999

Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scans of himself, Cooper (1968, Sidney) has created a virtual body. Medical software helps animate the cross-sections, forming a three-dimensional object that can be accessed on any level. The camera navigates through the inside of the body and investigates the outside. The body acquires form in its own space, contracts and expands, falls apart and is put back together again.
