Presented at the Christian Louboutin exhibition, this was a "holographic" performance of Dita Von Teese wearing his shoes. Art Direction from Ali Mahdani, Film Production from Musion, Post Production from Square Zero and Technology from Musion. This is an element of the new projection/screen technology seen in various things like the Gorrilaz stage gig and Harry Potter land in Florida, especially from Musion, first developed by them!
As the description explained, this is a high deff 3D holographic video projection system, allowing 3D life-size images to appear within a live stage setting. Apparently the technology derives from "Pepper's Ghost" which is an illusion technique used in Victorian theatre. The technique was named after John Henry Pepper and first demonstrated in the 1860s using a plate of glass and special lighting. It is made from then, metallised film across the front of the stage, at a 45% angle towards the audience. Recessed below the screen is a bright image supplied by an LED screen or powerful projector, and the reflected images appear on the screen.
This technique was very interesting and wonderful to watch. This is one of the more current froms of projection technology out there. The information here proves relevant and worth investigating further, such as Musion, and the original "Pepper Ghost" technology of the Victorians.
