Style Watch: Ellen Rogers x Prizme “The Dissolution” Trailer

July 22, 2010 Fashion, Film, Photography

You may remember photographer Ellen Rogers we posted about back in February, check out the post here. For her most recent project Ellen has joined forces with artist Prizme to create a short film that they hope to distribute as a full package with a variety of products created from various mediums:

The Dissolution is a collaborative project between Artists Ellen Rogers and Prizme, the objective of which is to collect a series of mediums, which would normally be consumed separately, into a single entity. Each medium is built around a short film of the same name created by the pair as a keystone of the project. These include a booklet (containing a series of photographs), a full album (containing music from the soundtrack), a fold-out poster all bound together in a weighty black foil-blocked and embossed card.

The drive behind this project is the desire to create something that would allow the viewer to become further immersed in the worlds projected throughout the work of the two separate artists. At the same time the piece serves as a landmark project in the building of a creative partnership that continues to grow.

I’ve had the chance to watch the film and found it both beautiful and creepy – just the perfect combination – residing in a timeless and magical space reminiscent of The Wicker Man and Valerie and Her Week of Wonders. Watch Ellen’s first film Switch below and stay tuned for info on the project’s release.
