Should I do a long exposure for the photography or/and video?

Potential inspiration outside of the fashion industry that shows different texture, motion and focus as well as the colourimetry (color grading sill be based on the editing of the photography)

Natascha Sadr Haghighian: (Iran) - is a contemporary artist whose work is grounded in collectivity, authorship, and various mechanisms of the contemporary art world. Her artistic practice is two-fold. First and foremost, she completes in-depth research about a specific case study or project. Secondly, she develops it into large-scale installations and/or combines it with performances, publications, and online interventions. In her work, Sadr Haghighian uncovers and bears witness to systematic injustice, which can be obscured by the workings of institutions and the economic system.

Edith Dekyndt: She is interested in physical phenomena and ephemeral incidents. Her artistic practice explores light, time, and space. Engagement with sensual perceptions gives her art a conceptual and material depth.Edith Dekyndt observes everyday objects as they undergo a process of transformation. Her investigations connect organic elements or natural phenomena—for instance, reactions of water and air within the physical exhibition context of her artworks. Dekyndt pairs physical sites where her video works are recorded with chemical phenomena to capture the behavior of everyday materials. Her closer look at those daily processes draws attention to the working dynamics of human perception. What do we notice, but more importantly, what escapes our attention? This focus on ‘small’ or everyday processes adds a poetic dimension to her video work.

Stan Douglas: His work interweaves authentic events with fictional narratives. In his artistic practice, he uses innovative technologies, such as mobile apps, virtual reality simulations, live cinema, or theatrical productions. Diverse themes in his works allow the public to look critically at the media and how they shape our understanding of reality. For his investigations into cultural and collective memory, Stan Douglas uses pop-cultural sources and historical events. Although the viewer can frequently recognize the references, the video’s plot does not allow to predict the ending. The nonlinearity of the narratives often points to the universal feelings held by society, such as utopian thinking.
