Cineplastic Station

Montreal-based artist Stéphane Gilot mounts a video installation based on models with video screen insertions. Cineplastic Station is part of a new series that stems from the idea of modelisation and filmic architecture. Within Video Game (Images Festival 2005 and Transmediale 2006) the screen acted as truquage (a low tech special effect) as the viewer was immersed in the pseudo-artificial world of the video. With Cineplastic Station there is no such immersion as various small-scale models for eventual architectural installations inhabit the space. The 1:1 scale of previous Escape Plans projects would not be sufficient here as entire worlds are summoned and new fictions explored.
