Queen Kleopatra Ptolemy VII
diario del primer rodaje...
underway... after a last minute, mold (as in decay and fiberglass shell) crisis... today i think all is resolved and we are proceeding with casting her majesty, the last pharaoh of Egypt. we are filming tomorrow, sat. and sunday march 15th and 16th in a dynamic, and industrial sculpture studio. i must say that i really like working with these other materials, thinking dimensionally, instead of temporal moving images. i am reminded that sculpture is also a temporal medium... in its spacial experience... the time of viewing, and also in its own finite life. in a lot of ways, cinema and sculpture are very similar.... so tomorrow... i think all i need to be worried about... are shots. framing, lighting... making sure the film captures... the event. pouring white expanding liquid into her... to fill her joints, and crevices, to give her a life... pretty soon there will be two of her. ive become so attached to this beautiful amber fiberglass mold, spent a lot of time with her, then abandoned her... i dont know what exactly it will feel like for me... to realize her birth in positive form... and not the negative, ive been working with up to this point.
wish me luck.... uh... internet....
