Mourning Stage is a film that uses a series of drawings as a performance score. I worked on creating visual effects using face-tracking technology to animate 2D masks created by the artist Carlos Motta and move in sync with Simon(e)’s Paetau performance.

These images depict different renditions of the devil in hell. Among this group of demons, there are feminized characters that suggest sexual perversions as typified by the Catholic imagination. In the film, Simon(e) Paetau interprets and responds to the drawings using her body and facial expressions in a ritualistic performance, where the body, fetishized and colonized by morality, is mourned.
