INVISIBLE MAN
Chris McElroen's world premiere production of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man in Chicago, Washington DC & Boston.
"I am an invisible man" starts the soul-searching, identity-bending world premiere production of Ralph Ellison’s landmark American novel. The projection design plays an integral role in crafting the interior and exterior life of the protagonist in the ambitious production with content culled from thousands of hours of archival footage, art, and photography remixed and repurposed.

GOODBAR
Projection Design
“The video design, by Alex Koch, plays the major supporting role. The most striking moment integrates imagery and action: Ms. Cheek hunches before an image of Theresa’s bed, poetically suggesting a woman shrunk to the size of a stuffed animal on her pillow, as her sister tries to cheer her up. Other video sequences — montages of dance floors and bar crawls, and the culminating re-creation of Theresa’s murder — subvert the period ambience of the music to suggest that today’s casual hookup scene shares the same dangerous undertow that the bar scene of the 1970s did.”

CHAOS MANOR
A site-specific immersive installation spanning half a block, four stories high, in Brooklyn, NY.
Chaos Manor was a multimedia installation using the Invisible Dog Arts Center in Brooklyn as an instrument to play the story of iconic photo journalist W. Eugene Smith, and his particular American moment, by sampling the 10,000 photographs and hundreds of hours of audio recordings he made at 821 Sixth Avenue between 1957 - 1964.
The exterior of the building was mapped with archival imagery and animation while layers of recorded and live sound and video were woven inside twenty-two windows. Rear projections within each window created stunning depth telling the story of the inhabitants.
