What we remember...
My most recent series 'Remembering what never happened' is set at party, sometime in the 1980's. Each seen is choreographed to give a hint of what the story might be. While the actors are real, the stage they appear on is not. The Californian modernist house was designed by architect Andrew Hayes in specific response to one of the characters - the owner of the property. The design was then 'built' in the virtual world before being photo-realistically rendered for each specific camera angle. The idea of working with this type of virtual world camera me while working on the series 'Perfect:Synthetic' in that series I photographed mannequins Imbuing them with a sense of the real.
