The production of a mixed-media installation is described, featuring miniature theatrical environments and pre-recorded performance and animation. The modules of the installation use the design of an 18th century French peepshow as a point of departure. The original viewing cabinets, made as amusements for parlours and salons, offered a primitive form of stereoscopy by way of a large bi-convex lens and gave individuals viewing two-dimensional coloured images the impression of depth and three-dimensionality, an effect often enhanced using prosceniums. In the current work, this basic form is hybridised with a contemporary expression of another archaic though persistent artistic technique, the 19th century theatrical illusion, the Pepper's ghost and in addition to two-dimensional scenography inside the peepshow, objects are included to better integrate the ghost image with its three-dimensional confines. LED lighting inside the cabinets is dynamically controlled and synchronised with the videotaped ghosts and further, ambisonic audio is delivered on headphones to promote a sense of immersion in the scene and an association of the viewer with focal characters.
