2 day project

About 2 weeks ago we were given a 2 day project by our 3rd year tutors which was one day of disassembling something and then the next reassemble. We got put with 2 other people we wouldn't normally work with which was good to experiment with different people. I actually thought that both days we would be working on our own work, but on the 2nd day we had to reassemble someone else's work.
So on day one, we had a few ideas at first involving mis-matching the body and the face, with like a flipping book to create entirely new bodies/faces with everyone's features combined. But we decided to make it simple. Even though it wasn't simple at first as every computer we used wouldn't print our photos off!
We decided to take portraits of people in the studio and guillotine all the images into little strips of paper.
We then mixed all the little bits up and stuck them on the wall. I went for all the eyes, and noses, and mouths, beards, chins, and everything else and grouped them together generally. The finishing result looked really funny. However I did wonder how another group would reassemble our work!
The next day we were given the work of a group who created a hand done tea factory with all it's ingredients to make a cup of tea de-constructed. We then decided to put all these teabags, loose tea, milk and sugar in one big mug of tea. (personally I don't like sugar in tea!) So we grabbed a big bowl and sewed the teabags together to create one massive teabag, and then put the tea on top and poured the water, milk and sugar in. It did collapse in the end, but it wasn't to be taken seriously. Was enjoyable to try something different and laugh about it. I guess that's the point of the project- to not take it too seriously. That's pretty much how I view art anyway, something to play with. :)
