George Orwell "1984"

In my scenography I wanted to recreate the atmosphere of a world,
where everybody is spied, followed by the eye of
Big Brother.
In sake to achieve this effect, I used the principle of the banner mesh.
Banner grid as an integral part of ubiquitous phenomena of advertisment. 
I placed this grid on a simple moving structure design that can be easily transformed and changed on the stage space.
The image is printed, drawn and projected from the front side. 
There are moments when viewer can realize the existence of people behind the wall only if peticular light is turned on.
On stage I create images of the gray mass and the “different”.
 
Portrait of Big Brother is not simply just an image of a man. As a source of pressure it consists of thousands people:
you can worship him, you can hate him, you can adore him and etc.
Red color in the scene is also not by chance, it symbolizes fear and hatred from the Party and Big Brother,
which originates in the heart of Smith.
