LED lightbox with duratrans. Dimensions: variable.
The Apparition photographic and video series is developed from research into pre-cinematic spectacle, using coloured cellophane as a way of seeing the everyday anew and references the cellophane theatre set designs of Modernist, but distinctly proto-feminist, American theatre designer, painter and poet, Florine Stettheimer. The artists disguised themselves to create grotesque portrait silhouettes based on pre-cinematic shadow devices.
Produced in collaboration with photographer Simon Pantling.
