Animation, Automated, Face Capture, Participatory

Rogues Gallery

Stand for a moment in front of our Rogues Gallery installation and you will be amazed to see your own face transposed into the image in the shop window before you.

Hidden cameras capture the faces of onlookers and almost instantly project them into a 1920s fashion shoot, or a 1945 VE Day celebration or as part of an upright Victorian family portrait. Captions add an extra dimension to the image and the picture is presented in a heavily gilded picture frame, transforming any space into a participatory pop-up art project.
