The Twelve Apostles as Babies (installation)

By  Lexi Strauss 2014
Still image from The Twelve Apostles as Babies, an Installation which was created within an enclosed, dimly lit, theatrical environment. On entering the space, viewers perceive various barely distinguishable paintings, hung on 3 walls. Otherworldly voices drift in from all corners as the ventriloquised paintings breath, interact and become illuminated through light projections, choral music and conversation. Collectively they tell the tale of the Twelve Apostles as Babies.
