“I am writing to invite you to participate in a special art project at the 2023 Seattle Erotic Art Festival. Marcell Marias, a light projection artist, would like to use some of your submitted images in an installation he is creating for the festival this year.

The art he would like to use is listed below by the SEAF title:

Orchids at Midnight,  The Mermaid,  Indelible Ink,  Fishnets,  After

The intent is to use the chosen pieces and mix them with photos and video of flowers, mostly orchids and other tropicals, along with some computer-generated, animated flowing imagery. The flower and digital imagery would act as overlays on the still imagery, and as transitional elements, helping one image to flow into another, instead of just using dissolves or fades to/from black. I would not alter the artists’ images, other than some needed cropping of frames and extraneous backgrounds that may appear in some of them. I will not post video anywhere online nor share video file with anyone. It will only be projected on location at SEAF on the two event days. Some of the higher resolution photographs would have a Ken Burns pan/tilt effect put on them, zooming into them and animating them.”
