To the Moon and Back
The installation stems from a fascination with early cinema, and draws elements directly from George Meliès's A Trip to the Moon, the first narrative film in history.
The piece is originally a 7min video that seamlessly loops. It brings the moving image off the flat wall, out of the frame, spilling onto the floor and objects as a life-size video collage. This combination of objects and video makes it simultaneously sculptural and temporal, tactile and ephemeral.
The video content is a mixture of live action video and animation, and shedding light on its own process of creation through the handmade/hand- drawn elements. Using techniques uniquely available to projection mapping, the piece offers a world that recalls the past and future at the same time, immersing the viewer into a magic-realist dream.
