Cellar door
an animation installation at The Op Shop
Opening April 17, 2010 5-8pm, running through May 1
Cellar door is an animation installation built up from fragments of imagery found in the former Hollywood Video space. Tucked into a corner of the basement, the work consists of a fluid series of movements collaged together in the spirit of surrealist games. The title refers both to the surprising door we found in the basement of the building and to ongoing discussion, dating back to the late 19th century, of the phonic elegance and associative potential of the phrase “cellar door” in literary and linguistic analysis.
In the meantime visit the Op Shop in Hyde Park to see the fabulous projects Laura Shaeffer has put together, everything from visual art to plant and thrift exchanges.
