CONTEMPORARY STAGINGS

„Contemporary Stagings“ is a mixture of modern one-shot photography, costume staging, live performance and digital post-production. The interpretation presented is based onextensive research into the period, with the intention of reflecting our present in the past and the past in our present.


DIRTY 30´s

The Dirty 30´s series was planned for 4 months and implemented with a team of 9 people and 8 actors 2015 in Vienna/Austria. Inside an original 30s bar 4 one-shot stagings were created during one day full of training, acting, timing and a lot of fun. We used the body language of our models, overall composition of the group, color psychology, made to measure costumes, lavish set designs, contemporary accessories and authentic locations.
