Body Double Project

My most recent project was a contemporary functioning 'body double' of a large wall folding fan.

I used newspaper and magazine clippings to imitate the fabric or paper traditionally used. In order to be sure it would not rip when folding/unfolding the fan - I reinforced the material with thread. Wooden slats would be connected at the bottom with safety pins.

My project's unveiling included a demonstration [IT WAS AWESOME] in its functionality - both mechanically in its folding and unfolding but also in its ability to perform the task that all fans are made to do - cool oneself off in the heat.
