The Ice Book



"The Ice Book is a miniature theatre show made of paper and light. An exquisite experience of fragile paper cutouts and video projections that sweep you right into the heart of a fantasy world. It is an intimate and immersive experience of animation, book art and performance.

We created the show during a four month artist residency at the Kuenstlerdorf Schoeppingen in Germany. All we had was a 5D Mark ii, an old Macbook with After Effects, some builders lights and a green cloth that we improvised as a makeshift green-screen. Before we started we had no idea how to make pop-up books let alone how we could combine them with projections. With a lot of care, love and arguing the idea eventually came to life."

Stunning isn't it. Thanks to Dom for highlighting. Just imagine what you could do for a live show, in theatres or even retail shop displays. 1st, 2nd and 3rd of June as part of Toy Theatre Festival in Harderwijk, Netherlands.
