The Pit Bar, Dawson City deconstructs the seamless representation of perspective and movement in traditional video. Artist Allison Hrabluik meticulously constructs a miniature, three-dimensional stage with paper cut-outs of figures taken from each frame of her original video and recreates her source footage using stop motion techniques. The video will be installed alongside its toy-like theatrical set and paper figures, providing viewers with a glimpse of the artistic process. The Pit Bar features Canadian indie-rock stars The Constantines and was recorded in Dawson City.
Allison Hrabluik is a Toronto-based multimedia and video artist. She has shown her work at venues nationally and internationally, such as the Dawson City International Film Festival; Mercer Union, Toronto; Downtown Artspace, Adelaide, Australia.
