3D Kate


Created by AnOther Magazine with filmmaker Baillie Walsh, KM3D-1 stars Kate Moss in a bookend to Mr Walsh’s legendary holographic film for Alexander McQueen’s autumn/winter 2006 show.
With a performance that recalls the wuxia genre of movies (Wong Kar Wai would make good use of this technology!), KM3D-1 suspends Kate in time and space, caught inexorably in the parallax gap, a butterfly in a spider’s web. Captured at 1,000 frames per second – a speed so slow that movement is almost imperceptible – Kate’s sphinx face appears frozen (no, not the botox), transforming her into an impenetrable cypher. She is a modern Mona Lisa shattering her own self-image.
Made with state-of-the-art Phantom cameras, specially built for the project to create extreme slow motion and a dramatic 3D effect, KM3D-1 reflects AnOther Magazine’s raison d’etre: to champion creatives pushing the limits of what seems possible.
