Formwork Documentation: Beginning



The two events from the movie clip have been translated into panels. The intent is for the two panels to face each other and "converge" (or press into each other) and become something like an iron maiden. The dog chase is represented by one plate and the the mob chase is the other.

The two formworks will compress one panel in between and generate a surface. The deformations in the surface will be determined by the diagrammatic elements of each transition. Bolts of different lengths set in in different combinations will translate the compositional smoothness of the transitions.




Dimensions for plates are determined by means of material availability and means of available transportation. It is true the formwork should be "large" within reasonable parameters.
