Living Picture
LIVING PICTURE makes a scene. Digital imagery depicting the original Ragdale Ring maps onto lightweight objects stacked and arrayed around the site. This layered imagery expands the boundary of the proscenium, drawing audience members into the space of performance.
Blending a historic scene with its contemporary counterpart, Living Picture recreates Howard Van Doren Shaw’s 1912 garden stage design—the low limestone wall, columns topped with fruit baskets, and the lush landscape of trees and hedges that formed the stage’s proscenium, wings, and backdrop—as digital imagery and reinserts this imagery into the trees and buildings of the current Ragdale estate. The effect is a vivid visual space where images and objects overlap, align, and misregister.
Living Picture is built in the same way as conventional awnings—a lightweight aluminum frame wrapped in printed fabric. Awnings are designed for outdoor use and can withstand rain, wind, and sun; they are lightweight, yet sturdy, allowing us to create large-scale objects in simple shapes while maintaining ease of maneuvering and installation.
I think that Ling Picture is a very artistic way of showing sustainable way of living, think about the relationship between nature and human. And it is a special way of expressing.
