COLLABORATIVE PROJECT WITH ELSA MORA, ELIOT BASSETT-CANN, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS

Title: Rashomon Machine

Year: 2016

A team of twenty assisted in constructing this machine in the shape of a human brain. Participants created paper images based on personal stories to populate the inner landscape. This collaborative project refers to the 1950 Kurosawa film in which five characters offer radically divergent accounts of the same event, revealing the relative nature of perception.
