Suzanne Fiore/Suzanne Fiore Photography
Outside In (Working Title)
December 2020
A Visual/Audial photography exhibit. December is a month of developing the finished project which will be shown some time in Spring at IRT Theater
VIDEO PREVIEW: Outside In
Rough Draft Ideas: This month the preliminary ideas of how the showing will be presented are being devised. Some questions I am investigating are- How will the photographic prints be displayed around the space? How will the portraits, space, the stories, music, sound and silence connect in a theatrical form? How will the observers interact with the work and each other? How will I incorporate moments of contemplation and remembering?
Depending on what restrictions are still in place when the exhibit takes place, there is an option to offer each person, couple or family viewing, an opportunity to view the exhibit individually to maintain safe social distancing. The theater will be isolated as their homes were. The photos will be the windows they will be looking into to learn and relate to the quarantine stories from mothers, fathers, children, teachers, artists, grandparents, brides, grooms and others from the NYC, NJ, and one from the Washington area.
