Made It Show Catalogue 1819

YITONG HE (KRYSTEN)
80s
My inspiration came from a Chinese movie called ‘80s’.This
movie moved me, not only for its fragile and strong emotion
but also the production of the movie and storyline.
The film tells the story of several families and their
complicated relationships and tragedies.
When I researched this film, I discovered it was adapted
from ‘the glass house’ directed by Li Fangfang. I finally
understood that the real name of this film should be called
the glass house, which inspired ideas for my project.
I also researched glass, plastic and 3D shapes used in
architecture, for example: OFF Portugal’s Glass Cares
(Blown glassware),Selgas Cano (glass building),The National
Theatre structure (half-glass building) and so forth.
In the movie, I found a cold colour palette, which I used
in experiments for my final piece.
I mainly used transparent boards and foams. This is a
maquette for a piece which could be larger and the shape
could be modified in the production process.
I have carefully analysed the fashion trends, and the
production process, to create two pieces which could be
used on a fashion runway.
