Synopsis
Windows, masks, and doors first appealed to me in their uses of intentionally concealing and revealing. This seemed like a marvelous way to expose space and characters. Both visual and aural motifs are utilized to create an old radio music box and it’s conductor who tunes a medley of tracks revealing masked players hidden. Tinkering with the idea of a music conductor/train conductor and music tracks/train tracks, the viewer is given a carnival ride on a toy train through the perpetually changing sets of the radio and the shadowy imagination of a masked traveler.
