MISE-EN-SCÈNE

"'Mise-en-scène' deserves commendation for its exceptional ability to bring together a diverse array of artistic expressions into a harmonious and thought-provoking experience.
As I navigated the exhibit, I was struck by the seamless flow of the artworks, each contributing to a larger narrative about our relationship with our environments."

The term ‘mise-en-scéne’, directly translated to mean 'setting the stage’, is
commonly used to refer to how mood is conveyed through stage design
and arrangement of actors. MISE-EN-SCÈNE explored how we interpret and
are affected by our everyday environments. Through the eyes and
multimedia applications of the artists, we looked at how we perceive our
surroundings. Central themes addressed in the exhibition included the five
core elements of ‘mise-en-scéne’ on set and in films; composition, sets,
props, actors, costumes and lighting. Emphasising these elements, the 14
artists explored memory, time, nostalgia, personal history and the emotional
value attached to our surroundings. The 12-month exhibition was divided
into two acts; Act 2 saw the featured artists consider the impact of time on
the ‘mise-en-scène’ in their pieces by manipulating the scenes in new work.

The exhibition took place at:
Hallam Conference Centre | 44 Hallam St | London | W1W 6JJ
