The Scenography
2010, 26:34, animation for iPod
video clip

This piece was created using Sweet Home 3D open-source architectural modeling software and downloadable free 3D models from individuals who create complete sets of software-compatible furniture, doors and windows, spiral staircases, perfectly modeled bowls of apples and bedroom suites, kitchen appliances etc. to furnish your virtual environment. The video is small-format, made to be viewed on an Apple iPod.

I began playing with Sweet Home 3D at the perfect time: I was completely without a home, most of my things in storage, and I was living out of a couple of suitcases. Or, more precisely, living inside the architecture of the Mac operating system. Creating the scenes in this animation was therapy, fantasy, commentary, and criticism about ideas of home, migration and immigration, property, space use and autonomy. Thanks Sweet Home 3D, and thanks to all the 3D modelers out there who upload their free collections of furniture and fixtures.
