My group, Chayah, Morgan, and I, choose re-create the picture 'Cindy,' by Robert Longo. It is considered a piece from the Post-modern era, even though the pieces were completed in the 80's. Post-modernism was a revival of the more classical style with elements of the modern world added in that came after the art period Modernism. Pieces after the 1950's can be labeled as Post-modern, but the overall concept of Post-modernism is one of the most abstract that I have ever come across. It is a style that spans architecture and novels, as well as art.
My group decided to re-create the fist picture in this blog, and then decided, on a whim, to switch to the second position while filming. Both pieces are called 'Cindy,' and they are both from the 'Men in the Cities' series. Morgan was the model for the re-creation, I was the researcher, and Chayah aided in the filming and coaching Morgan on the lyrics of the video.
If I were to do this art piece again, I would probably play the music while filming, so the person being filmed would be able to actually lip-sync along with the song, instead of merely listening to the music in their head and singing along to what they think they hear. That might help things quite a bit.
