Rare. Flipbook by Marcus Tomlinson of Chalayan's short film altitude. "With Altitude I wanted to recreate environmental systems that mirror how the body moves. Thinking of speed led me to focus on car interiors which generated the idea of ergonomically amplifying the body's own speed and movement. I saw speed as something created by technological means the enhance the body's natural capacity to move quickly.' A simple enough idea, cryptically explained by Chalayan there. Still, a nice project and a very charming book.
