Peep Show is an 8’ wide x 6’ tall x 3’ deep wooden box - the red-lit word "PEEP" on the top – with seven paper disc View-Masters™ fixed across the box face and illuminated from within. Each disc has 7 stereoscopic images in rotation and the images will be creations of 7 selected artists.
Amongst the sea of light-eruption and fanfare at BTL, Peep Show will offer a more introspective, inner light. Imagine the small curiosity shadowed from the larger spectacle. This assemblage represents a tempting pull in to a more intimately lit narrative. From an interactive standpoint, the viewer is simultaneously viewed, becoming part of the public landscape.
The View-Master™ naturally affords a dreamlike experience for the viewer, while allowing the artists various uses for the switch from image to image - be it story, free form surrealism, or abstract. With their backs to the festival, the viewers will share in group privacy within the overall light show.
The chosen works, in turn, will take advantage of the situation. Advantages that exploit the prone viewing, the seven image structure, the depth of 3-D, and the low-fi dreamscape of the slideshow faux-diorama.
