Deotto Alessandra – ADVFX 2024-2027

STATEMENT

I will reimagine the Bride of Frankenstein as a design-driven exploration that embodies a dialogue between vernacular and ethnic design elements. The Bride’s visual identity will incorporate ethnic and traditional design references, such as textiles, markings, and material choices, to suggest an inherited, yet human, presence living beyond scientific intent or control. The project explores themes of creation without consent, autonomy (of the body and of the mind), fear of the irrational and abandonment. I will try to express this through a contrast between monumental, engineered environments where minimalism, scale, emptiness and rigid geometry can reflect restrained emotional suppression and authority, opposed to ethnic elements, which will not be used as a decoration but as an element of disruption of the rational order, humanity, instinct and emotional depth.

THE BRIDE – FIRST MOODBOARD

ENVIRONMENT- FIRST MOODBOARD.

After talking with my tutor, it has been suggested that I develop both the character and the environments together to make them feel like they are in the same world, even though they are in contrast, and to make the environments interesting and cohesive, as they could result in very simple layouts.
