“Prologue / Epilogue Movie”
MUSEUM OF HISTORY AND INDUSTRY,
SEATTLE, WA
Objective:
Provide an emotional, heartfelt introduction and conclusion to the main exhibition at MOHAI that resonates both with long-time residents and first-time visitors.
Services:
Concept development, research, collaborate with MOHAI on scriptwriting, audio and video production.
Description:
Rather than taking a chronological approach to history, Prologue/Epilogue unites different periods of Seattle’s past, often placing them side-by-side, around thematic threads that weave in and out of Seattle’s history. Dual screens juxtapose points of view simultaneously, showing contradictions and unintended consequences of decisions now and then, immersing the visitor in the multifaceted, progressive stories that have defined Seattle and made it the place it is today.
