ODYSSEY OF THE DOUBLES
BAFMI L3—FYP/1



PROJECT DESCRIPTION
WEB: odysseyofthedoubles
Odyssey of the Doubles is a project that explores social identities through the articulation of a double identity. It considers the murky relationship between humans and their social media presence, the latter of which often threatens our real-life identities. It is presented by a double identity who are psychologically inseparable.

It portrays a character who seeks their own means of self-indulgence and individual identity by disconnecting from society while imagining a perfect version of themselves. They are set in a vividly imaginative future world, presented in a Utopian and Dystopian terrain in real-world landscapes to shine an uncomfortable spotlight on the ways in which we are already living.

This project is presented by a fashion film, a set of fashion images and a printed artbook -the identity series- that features four chapters as supporting elements to the film.
