Duet (Lonely I Be)

Steve Abel and Kirsten Morrell

Synopsis

Puppetry must feature in any credible video collection. This masterpiece by Florian Habicht and Steve Abel is the obvious choice. Note the uncanny resemblance between Steve and his wobbly little understudy

 

"Unitec let us use a space for two weeks to build the set. We used moss to make the puppet set, and Kirsten and I were shot in my flat in Kingsland using a green-screen. The puppets have independent careers in Oly Smart's European traveling puppetry show."

Steve Abel - April 09
