May 2011 - 120 Model Tableau Vivant - Skylight One Hanson from Sarah Small's Tableau Vivant on Vimeo.
Two years in the making, on May 23rd and 24th, 2011, Photographer Sarah Small and collaborators brought to life 120 models and musicians, at Skylight One Hanson.
Maintaining it’s roots in her still photography series,
The Delirium Constructions, and already the most ambitious project of
her career, in 2011, for the first time, Small explored, within the Tableau Vivant,
a specific social phenomenon: the ritual of marriage. With its airs of
pageantry and religious rectitude, wedding ceremonies celebrate the most
intimate joining of two individuals in the most public sphere,
providing rich fodder for examination within the project’s framework. On
the evenings of May 23rd and 24th, Small acted as the legal officiant
for three couples (two weddings and a vow renewal ceremony), as she
simultaneously directed the attendant Tableau Vivant cast in their own
explorations of the theme, mingling performance art with reality in a
compelling cocktail.
