Relativity 2.0

Uploaded by: Lukiebaggs
Video Description:
This piece is a blend of the iconic lithography 'Relativity' by renowned artist MC Escher, with modern societies consumer culture. Throwing real people into the mix, therein bringing the art to life was the next logical step in contemporizing this famous piece of art.
I always wanted to have this piece projected, it made sense allowing the viewer to walk right up to it, and inspect the detail, therefore making back projection the only option. It also doesn't lend itself too well to the small screen, to take in the whole piece, projection is really the only real way to view it since the characters themselves are relatively small in their surroundings.
The Escher piece itself needs no introduction and is heavily ingrained into popular culture. References to it has been used as satire in in television shows like the Simpson's and in memorable films like Labyrinth. I used a blend of simple Blue-screen, and keyframe animation to realize my 4 minute looping narrative.
Having finished this piece, I am now far more intrigued with the notion of installation video, and exploring new and different ways of presenting my work, as well as shooting and exploring challenging ideas in post production.
Since the exibition was a complete sham and nothing was organized I thought I'd upload it so people could see it.
Starring Evan Barry, Liam Byrne, Kevin Herlihy, directed and cut by Luke Leslie
