THINKING ABOUT 2 DIMENSIONAL LIFE OF HER

 As I struggle to make a slide show for my current LACHSA project come together, I am thinking of how gratifying it wil be to be able to have the technical skills necessary to infuse my work with the kind of visual elements other artists come by easily.

One of the pieces i will see in Copenhagen is described below.  i can't wait!

"Fleur Elise Noble’s 2 Dimen­sional Life of Her is a per­for­ma­tive screen work par excel­lence… An essay on cre­ativ­ity, con­trol, manip­u­la­tion and ways of see­ing, 2 Dimen­sional Life is witty, tech­ni­cally deft and engross­ing, offer­ing more dimen­sions than its big­ger fes­ti­val coun­ter­parts.“

Keith Gal­lasch, Real Time

Win­ner of the 2010 Green­room Award for Video Design (The­atre — Alter­na­tive and Hybrid cat­e­gory), 2 Dimen­sional Life of Her is a visual per­for­mance made of draw­ing, ani­ma­tion, pup­petry, pro­jec­tion and paper.

Set in an artist’s stu­dio, a richly imag­ined par­al­lel world is awoken where every­thing that was thought to be still or flat becomes some­thing else. Her draw­ings repro­duce them­selves, drift between sur­faces and move in and out of three dimen­sions. She loses con­trol of her cre­ations and absolutely any­thing becomes possible…

Illu­sion­ary, cap­ti­vat­ing and cheeky, 2 Dimen­sional Life of Her won Best in Show in the Under the Radar pro­gram at the Bris­bane Fes­ti­val 2008. This show is 98% visual and runs for 40 min­utes and is suit­able for ages 4 and up.
