Creative duo Davy and Kristin McGuire create beautiful papercraft installations that are brought to life with projection mapped animations. Their works include animated installations, such as the animated paper diorama.
The Paper Architect
The Paper Architect is a theatrical piece combining paper-craft, animation, projection and performance. It tells the story of an elderly model-maker who uses his paper creations as vessels for his imagination.
The show features tiny accurately mapped animations playing across intricate paper sets: sunrises and sunsets come and go; flocks of birds pass by; leaves flutter from a tree... When the actor places a cut-out dancing woman on a detailed paper model, she comes alive; he adds a paper man and watches their romance unfold. The projected would-be lovers’ story is presented with a gentle humour; the life character, meanwhile, veers from rapt, childlike delight in his created world to a weary melancholy as the rigours of real life impinge.
