Lenticular Faces
We learnt in the consultation process that children enjoy and respond well to seeing photographs of other children. Andy photographed local children from Mile End Primary School to make two-way lenticular portraits. Each portrait depicts the child wearing a straight face which is then contrasted by an image of the child pulling a face or expressing emotions triggered by cues such as ‘bang’ and ‘ouch’.
In a very simple yet effective way, the lenticulars invite interaction. As one passes along the corridor, the faces merge from one expression to another.
Thirty portraits can be found sited throughout the hospital including Child and Family Mental Health Services, Outpatients, Day Case Unit and Paediatric Assessment.
I have always wanted to make a series of lenticular images; they convey the magic of animation in such a basic way; two combined frames, a double take, a sort of condensed blink. I remember the joy of finding little cartoon lenticulars at the bottom of cereal packets when I was a kid; there was something in adapting that format that made sense here. It was a very simple idea brought to life by the enthusiasm, wit and elasticity of this group of children.
