VILLAGE VOICE:

….AS MONK FACES HAMILTON ACROSS THE TABLE, A CAMERA

HELD BY HAMILTON PROJECTS THE INSIDE OF MONK’S SINGING MOUTH

ON THE BACKDROP IN BLURRY BLACK AND WHITE. SOMETIMES

PATTERNS-LIKE VIDEO GONE AWRY FILL THE BACKGROUND.

NOELE STOLLMACK’S LIGHTING AND GABRIEL BERRY’S COSTUMES EXTEND THE QUIET SPELL….

SEQUENZA 21:

FIRST, THE DESIGN ASPECT IS HAUNTING AND UNEXPECTED. IT HAS BEEN PAIRED

DOWN TO AN ALMOST STARK AND SOMBER ESSENCE. THE LIGHTING BY

NOELE STOLLMACK COMPLEMENTS AND INTENSIFIES THE SUBDUED QUIET

OF THE “ONE ROOM CABIN” WHERE MERCY TAKES PLACE. THIS INTIMATE ENVIRONMENT

PLAYS A DECIDED ROLE IN THE FEEL OF THE WHOLE WORK. IT SETS THE TONE.
