Polaroids: Original Nature

POLAROIDS: ORIGINAL NATURE depicts an artistic workbook that tells the story of Singer Fauth, a schizophrenic outsider artist who is also a voyeur. The story takes place on the highly hedonistic Rock Island where she reconnects with Lee Heureux, a slightly narcissistic and highly secretive mixologist/bar owner. As she installs a mural entitled "Creation" on the ceiling of Lucky's Lounge, the Polaroids begin to reveal their original natures as subtle modern-day, counter-culture versions of Tinker Bell and Peter Pan. In the midst of an artistic avant-garde, their past and present intimacies and addictions are explored while portraits of the odd, outcast and eccentric characters that frequent the lounge are revealed. The relationship of Singer and Lee becomes one of cat and mouse as each tries to woo, tame, capture, reject and control the other. Their illnesses are fully explored as they push each other to the edge and their fusion takes on a life of its own.
