A horrifying Samuel Beckett short story…in 3D? [motion capture, not S3D]
I am gazing at the virtual world of Unmakeablelove, a 3D interactive simulation based on Samuel Beckett’s short prose work The Lost Ones, in which a group of people are enclosed within a narrow cylindrical world, left to shuffle and search pointlessly within its confines.
In the artwork, this pitiable world is rear-projected onto the walls of a 5-metre-diameter enclosure inhabited by 30 bodies, half the size of humans. Each body represents a character in Beckett’s text: the Searchers who actively thrust through the space looking for an escape, the Sedentary who lethargically slouch, and the Defeated – “for whom all hope is gone”, saysSarah Kenderdine at City University of Hong Kong, who created the work with Jeffrey Shaw.
