my role: lighting designer

Still Life is built from interviews with three individuals discussing their personal struggles with the aftermath of the Vietnam war.

The idea behind my lighting was to transform the single set space over the course of the character's revelations, moving from heavy front to strong back light. The lighting was created from an existing reperatory plot.
