HYPNODREAMDRUFF 6 screen video installation with bedroom, caravan, nightclub and kitchen. Dimensions Variable 1996
Beginning life as a film script written by Starr, Hypnodreamdruff eventually became a multi-screen, multi-media installation incorporating a nightclub, bedroom, kitchen and caravan. Entering the work we are introduced to Trisha and Emma in Dream Interference Device, and sit in their kitchen watching them discuss a dream, which Trisha describes in great detail. The dream becomes real via a nightclub scene in The Hungry Brain where we can enter and sit at tables to watch and listen to the private conversations of the nightclub clientele. Trisha and Emma are there in The Hungry Brain, alongside Dave a lonely middle-aged guy, Elena a vivacious club singer, and an array of strange characters from The Four Mary's to The Woman with the Hypnotic Eyes. As we leave the club we enter into two private spaces, a caravan where we can see Dave at home in Magic, and a bedroom where Elena becomes Pauline, a lonely woman on the verge, constantly re-enacting a scene from the movie Grease in Frenchy .
