Project 07: The Sunken Bell
The Realistic World
For the construction of the small village where the hero lives, I wanted to highlight more the inner world of the main character. In my vision, it is a black and white, distorted and depressing world surrounded by bells, a world that he lives in and that gives him so much pressure that he wants to escape, thus creating the illusion of a beautiful forest in the fantasy world.
In addition to the bell there are many walls which symbolize the hero's indifference to the outside world, he only cares about his work, in the real world he closes himself off and only wants to finish his work. This world is colorless, depressing and makes people want to escape.
The Fantasy World
Regarding the world in the forest, it is a fantastical and enjoyable scene and I have moved some of the amusement park facilities into this scene because the amusement park gives me the feeling of joy and fun, and it is the place where people can really relax. The mushroom house is where the dwarves live and the script also has dwarves and pixies who help each other out. Rabbits are representative of the fantasy world, let's say in Alice in Wonderland, it is a rabbit that introduces Alice to the fantasy world. This huge rabbit just greatly demonstrates the fantasticality of the scene.
Visitors enter the imaginary world from the real world through the slide
Regarding the design of the box, I originally thought about making an animation and when the audience walk in front of the box and see the inside of it, the scene will be transiting to the real world. In this scene, the real world priest, barber and teacher want to go up the mountain to Heinrich and talk to the crone at the entrance.
this interior is a small miniature model of the real world, which the audience can see through each mirror.
Inspired by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama's exhibition at the Tate Modern gallery in London, I got the idea that one needs to be close to see what is inside. Just like the picture shows.
The House of Mirrors
Inside the House of Mirrors is another scene, it shows the forest at night. As the audience enters, they will see the elves dancing inside and the elves will invite the audience to dance with them. There are mirrors on all sides and lighting and projections will be used here.
