filippo minelli and silence shapes

In a coffee shop and just was asked by a police man if I had called about a stolen car. I saw them first on mathunderwood's tumblr, and then on zoe's blog, these haunting candy colored ghosts in snowy forests. Last night Riley and I worked on the little models of the set installation, and actually these photos illustrate the spooky/cozy dichotomy that I'm going for. We tried rolling hills of cotton candy pink fur, balanced out by spooky wall treatments in tattered and burnt tendrils of netting. Other things too. It was productive. Photos to come!

-inside snow globe: i dream of genie or a cricket in their pagoda cage.
-system?
-not look like black box theater

-alternative floor:
-pile of what?
-ground = opposite of what you would think. packing peanuts, real peanuts?! fur? i also had the idea for coal, like the kind used in barbeques. mentioned in the script...
-gauze. gauze on the floor? sheerness, can it be flesh color or the gauze for wrapping wounds? crumpled like karla black's work but all over the floor? its cozy, like a cloud.
-hills made on places on the floor? big question. places where a mass of something is built up into mounds
faux hill with crumpled thing -- something covering the floor like crumpled paper in picture. crumpled paper - in size, appearance but makes sense to the play, what comes up in the script but not too literal?

-cozy capturing but still a capturing -- captured, but snuggly
-this place exists untouched by history, culture, society. a hazy bubble.
-woven/ netting structures on tracks that move. warp and weft, places where it is disintegrating, where actors can stick their hands/bodies through. barriers and non barriers.
-cozy capturing, nets on tracks
-what is spooky but cozy?
