Sororibus

---

Sororibus  explores a female dominated dystopian society where there are laws, religion, culture, education and an economy that maintains the perfect beauty equilibrium. The surreal world is visually inviting, but behind the facade of garish colours and fake materials there are persuasive powers conforming women to rigorous procedures and rituals. The film explores social issues around appearance and the desire for perfection looking at contemporary topics on identity, technology and competitiveness. 

The work in progress project will include a film and immersive digital exhibition with a mix of live action shot against green screen, collage animation, stop motion, archival footage and dialogue, and imagery from contemporary magazines and adverts. The exhibition will also feature digital interfaces in which the audience can participate and make commentary. There will be a collaboration with digital artist Will Hurt to explore interfaces in which the audience can become part of the artwork. 

The project aims to combine uncomfortable tactics such as subliminal messaging, disruptions and glitching with exaggerated theatrical and playful processes. A disjointed and eerie soundtrack will be created by sound designer Peter Richards.
