Voyeur's Server Room - Installation Stage Study

A big and messy floor made out of lots of wires, some different colours of lights and a curtain made of plastic bags, allow us to study the atmosphere of the Voyeur's Server Room. The dark and half/light atmosphere reflect a sinister room that nonetheless will show magic spaces through the cluster of computer screens.

Tailor Photocopier Room

The Photocopier room of the office is here transform in a tailor workshop. The invisible woman as a way of recognize herself uses the photocopy machines to take photos of her body. This is a direct reference to the self-identification during the construction of the character (Nora) identity. These photos will be used to make some patterns that will address the invisible woman in order to make one of her fancy dresses, in this case, the Crazy Pilot dress that she will wear when making sport in her false-ceiling-based Flying Simulator.

Tailor Installation Stage Study

Tailor installation is an attempt to see which kind of relationships can articulate the different materials that will be taking part of the Tailor Photocopier Room. In this case we have studied the paper made pattern, the carpet made strings and particularly the crazy pilot helmet. In this case we do not have made a spatial atmosphere but rather a still-live that can recreate the sewing-machine table of the image.

Ludopoly Installation

Here we have some photos of the stage study of Ludopoly, the interest is pointed on the lighting and main structure of the director's drawer as a vessel for the cork-board as well as the suspending cluster of tracing papers that represents the sky.

Voyeur's Server Room

The Server room of the office is transformed into a space for surveillance and voyeurism. This stems from the desire of spying inside the office abstracted into the need of security, which is at the same time the core of the critique of this space. The servers and DVD players surround the space where a wire-covered elevated chairs with a big console allow the invisible woman to control what is going on in the 42 floor of the Tower 42 but also in that 1/2 floor where she lives.

In this case, it is also something more. This space is a link between both spaces, the real space of the office inside the narrative and the dreamspace of Nora where the invisible woman inhabits. Here the invisible woman is spying the office but she can also see the spaces she transforms. This encloses a paradox, Nora is imagining the invisible woman while spying herself and her, so here both characters, Nora and the invisible woman reflect to each other, and therefore by deduction the invisible woman is Nora's own projection, or is Nora the own projection of the invisible woman?
