This is an Alternate Reality installation documenting a practice-as-research collaboration between Lucy Gough, Karoline Gritzner and myself which explores the aesthetics of neo-medievalism through an intermedial dramaturgy and digital scenography. The project is an intermedial version of Lucy Gough's radio play Our Lady of Shadows, a radical adaptation of Tennyson's famous poem, ‘The Lady of Shalott’. The play’s protagonist, Catherine, is a medieval nun trapped in a tower for life. Her only access to the outer world is the flickering image of a camera obscura. As she battles with her inner demons, memories past and megalomaniac dreams, she desperately attempts to paint a more habitable world, a virtual haven, a palace of imagination. The work combines dramatic text, physical performance, digital scenography, painting, animation and music in an intermedial exploration of the tenuous pact between reality and imagination.
