Distracted
by Lisa Loomer
In our modern world, it is very easy to become distracted by all the stimulus we are subjected to. This piece looks at a contemporary family seeking to focus on what is important in their lives. Their young child is suspected of suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder, and they try many ways to remedy the situation, and in doing so come to a unique resolution for their son and for themselves.
The scenic design involved a large television which was my principal image surface. There were also eight older tvs included in the set, some at odd angles, which became another output. And, I included two additional projectors to wash the set in imagery. The combination could be quite... distracting. But, the end result was quite satisfying and clear.
