The Paper Architect, Alchimie de Courvoisier, The Hunter and Theatre Book - Macbeth, all hand crafted by Bristol based husband and wife duo, Davy and Kristin McGuire. All of which are beautifully delicate, and emotional paper dioramas, made as theatrical installations which are brought to life with projected movements.
The Paper Architect, is my particular favourite. In a mixture of papercut sculpture, projections and live action, it tells the story of an lonely elderly man (play by John Cording) who is about to be evicted from his studio workshop, and whilst spending a few final hours with his work, contemplates how life could have turned out differently. It's a melancholy story most people can probably empathies with.
Whether it's an installation, or a pop up book, beautifully illuminated and animated, the couples work is just magical.
All I'm going to say is, ugh!
Also, that I feel gypped. We never got to do dioramas at school, I would have LOVED to do dioramas at school! I'd love to do dioramas now! Then again, that's kind of what I do at work isn't it? Oversized dioramas. Though not actually for work... my work involves more ordering things on the computer, and fitting lenses into frames... ugh, my job sucks, I want to be them!
