Stairway Cinema / Oh.No.Sumo

Stairway Cinema Oh.No.Sumo design 4

Stairway Cinema, a mini movie theater in the stairway of a building by Auckland-based experimental design collective Oh.No.Sumo.

The structure was created with a timber truss covered in fabric with a waterproof exterior. Matching red cushions were added to the steps for softer seating while video content is projected onto the cantilevered end of the canopy

The installation was part of St PAUL ST GALLERY’s Curatorial Season 2012 organised by SPSG Assistant Director Vera Mey.

“No More Stars”

“No More Stars” – Rä di Martino

Abandoned Movie Set, Star Wars
33°59’39 N 7°50’34 E Chot El-Gharsa, Tunisia 03 September

Is a series of photographs taken in the abandoned movie sets of the film saga Star Wars, filmed through the years in different locations in the south of Tunisia. Unexpectedly those sets have been left on the locations so after years have now mostly become ruins, almost as some sort strange archaeological sites. The particular hot and dry climate has helped maintain intact many parts of the sets, or buried under the sand just sections of it. (via Rä’s website)

The design consist of modular system based on a multisided metal “star” from which up to 14 metal or wood rods can be joined and continue on to yet another metal “star”. From this a spatial structure was built from where COS’ items could be exhibited in the space.

Materials used were natural and included white painted metal, brass, string and light wood.
