Martyn Jolly and Elisa deCourcy will be re-imagining an historical magic lantern show, based on the shows popular in Australia in the late nineteenth century, at ACMI from 9 to 11 September.
Using a pair of authentic ‘dissolving view’ magic lanterns they will project original chromatropes and the thrilling story Jane Conquest, not seen in Melbourne since 1894, all accompanied by special effects and live original music.
The show is relevant to people interested in the history of photography, animation, media, projection and performance.
