Description Does society imitate the movies or do movies imitate society?
This project was a production with an installation which allowed the audience to inhabit the same environment as the actor. It examined the boundaries between actor/performer and on-screen and off-screen performance. Cinema as iconography and its stories as our way of life. The artificial dimensions that exist between the individual and nature, technology as a landscape, redefinitions of space through technological access, artificial space and information.
