Paul Malone : 00 Scale : Cereal City

'Cereal City'. 'Plat du Jour' The Streaming Festival, The Hague, NL. 2011

'Cereal City' is a movie installation that seeks to re-create a miniaturised cityscape through which the camera moves mounted on an 00 scale microdolly. The cityscape is made from the empty boxes of my annual cereal consumption. The boxes are varied sorts of colour and type and were arranged in different configurations depending on the outcome of the photo-shoot. In the movies, I line the wall with Mirror Melanex that reflects the action in distorted imagery. In these movies also I include myself as an active agent, distorted by the Melanex, as if choreographing the movements of the train.
