My favorite thing about this video is that I went all the way to Museu Dalí in Figueres, Spain with some art from my #MFDALÍ project to make it and that this art installation is so MF awesome. Experiencing something in person is infinitely more life-changing than reading about it and/or watching a video about it. I currently have many things in my possession that I’m saving to recreate my own version of this but I’m taking a different route and using moss for the hair… that’s as far as I’ve gotten; looking forward to fleshing out that project when the time is right. Most likely, the next version of this will be created three-dimensionally in a cardboard box or in the woods.
An #MFDALÍ moment in Museu Dalí in Figueres, Spain.
I made the #MFDALÍ collage featured at the end of the video with three of the same Salvador Dalí images to give the original an alternate reality. This is one of the first I did back when I was still wary of destroying a masterpiece and didn’t want to ruin the integrity of the original. Now I realize that each collage becomes more of my own masterpiece the more I cut it up and that abandoning the composition of the original creates the most interesting results. The point of the whole project is to learn so I’m grateful to have made enough collages to have figured this out.
On this day, I did not bring TheRingOfDOOM’s lip couch with me but I’m so grateful to have made the photos of my own collage work inside the museum that I really don’t care about missing one photo op. I did get to photograph the tiny lips couch the next day in and outside of Dali’s house in Portlligat with other versions of the lips couch… video on that part of the adventure coming soon.
I’m very much looking forward to seeing how I scale my art endeavors as I learn, grow, and create bigger opportunities for myself.
