Framing Landscape (Digital Tabletop Theatre)
Work in development
The work is a meditation on creating landscape art in the time of climate crisis and the threat to the environment. In particular it examines the frame as a symbol of human domination over nature, at a time when our relationship to the natural world has become so problematic. The piece consists of a table top digital theatre. A “performance” is created through digital video clips projection mapped onto a series of frames and windows in the theatre. The viewer stands in the “repoussoir” or dark refuge outside the theatre, and beholds the landscape through their own frame - physically and metaphorically. The projections are semi- abstracted and create a narrative through their relationship to each other and the binaural sound track. The performance will last approximately 5-10 minutes and visitors will access the sound through headphones.
