Frankenstein installation, Black Box
I spent several hours on Friday and again today down in the Black Box. The work being done is very interesting and seems to evolve rapidly. There are several installations and so much is going in the space that you are almost forced to interact. There are five projectors and at least six cameras, not to mention lights, cables, cardboard boxes and a smoke machine.

In the evening a large group of students came to visit the Black Box, as part of their course on theatrical spaces with Mark Sussman. Michael Montanaro gave a compelling account of the work that is done and, in particular, how he sees the Frankenstein project within the context of Hexagram. I was keen to see how the students would respond to the work-in-progress: there was a sense of awe, soon followed by a desire to interact with, to respond to, and to play with, the installations.

Amazing photography all through, but on this page especially. On a technical point, how did the bottom picture get taken? Where were you?! F.J.
I’m glad you like the photos. Good question about the last one! There was a pair of cameras set up in front of two seats for the face-morph exercise/experiment. I was stood a few metres back when I took the photo, although you can see one of the seats in the bottom right-hand corner of the shot, and so was picked up by both cameras. The projector that you can see, precariously balanced, is for the body on the boxes (different parts of the body were shot separately, then stitched together again).
