ART BREAKDOWN
SET DRESSING.
To-go condiments and poker chips fill any empty space which is not occupied by an empty alcohol bottle or ceramic figurine. An old TV stuffed in a cabinet that doesn’t close any more. These bits of information project the life of a person whose habits wouldn’t suggest they would suddenly up and leave.
Note: All roles were performed by either myself or Isabella, from props to set decoration all the way to the overall Production Design.
FIXTURES.
The existing bathroom did not include any soap dispensers, papers, graffiti, or paper towel dispensers. We added the fixtures and mold to the walls and then washed everything off when wrapping. The electrical cabinet was built to cover an existing mirror. We sculpted the foam to look like wood and added additional hardware that was then given the “landlord treatment” with a thick layer of white paint. Once installed on site, we added graffiti, custom warning labels, and painted on dirt to blend the cabinet into the space.
SIGN BUILD.Using reference from the site, we created a sign that would fit the existing style of the surrounding font and lettering while texturing it to seem as if it had always existed.
