In Shape Shift, Stark uses two cameras positioned opposite each other to reveal, as Stark writes, “a body transposed upon itself.” In his boxers, Stark performs a simple and almost ritualistic dance sequence. He creates a “flicker” effect by rapidly switching between the images captured by these cameras, shifting the spatial perspective from one side to the other. This effect becomes especially interesting when Stark does things like look side to side, or sway his right arm, then the left. He showcases his ability to confuse and distort his body’s own form.
