Soft Rains #2: Cabaret

The cabaret platform is inspired by the work of Douglas Sirk, specifically the film Imitation of Life.

Installation with video projection

2003

Soft Rains consists of multiple platforms. Each platform represents a familiar cinematic archetype or genre rendered in miniature (60s Arthouse, 70s horror etc). The miniature ‘heroine’ of the work, clad in a distinctive red dress, is pictured in each of the sets. The live feed from each video camera is connected to a computer-based video sequencer, which switches from one camera to another to create an edited sequence appearing as a large scale projection.
