Cinema Palace

My most resent work was done here at Städelschule. I was invited by my friend Zac to help build a Cinema Palace. It began with us meeting up in Paris. We conducted research into the wonderfully extravagant theatres of past times. From Paris we came to Städel. The Palace was being constructed to show a movie series from a Stan Brakhage lecture. We viewed four Carl Theodor Dreyer films. The theater is still up and is being used by Michael Krebber for his night of serious drinking films.

Here is a link to a blog regarding the project:

Here are some photos to help give a feel for Cinema Palace. The images record the making of the cinema and display the beauty of the palace. There is also a video clip presented to show what the feeling would be like to walk into the theater.
