(Hello Mr. Gauguin)
I created the stage design, the videos and did the live VJing for this contemporary opera production staged at the beautiful Teatro Fondamenta Nuove in Venice.
In order to make space for the perception of colours of Gauguin’s world, I choose a stage set with very few material stage props, using mainly transparent screens onto which I projected animations and documentary photographs. I then manipulated objects in front of the projector lens to distort the image.
