Parade of Choices
The Parade of Choices is a project for which I designed and constructed a Mardi Gras parade out of paper. All of the parts are interchangeable. The parade consists of four floats, each representing a vice and virtue as it applies to the season of Carnival and Lent. The first float introduces this theme with a jester/angel leading the parade. Following are the floats representing meat consumption, sex, and alcohol. All of the floats have two opposing views and the idea is to show the two sides and pose the question: is one side better than the other? or can vice and virtue be interchangeable?
Following the paper construction, I then re-conceptualized the Parade of Choices by designing oversized cards in the form of tarot cards. Each card shows the two sides of each float. This re-conceptualization still encompasses the themes of the original paper forms by allowing the viewer to choose their own fate.
