Aliki Polydor turns Betty Boop into Leddy Boop | 2008
Concept and project Aliki Polydor september 2008 All Rights Reserved
A transparent coffin made to measure to accomodate our Betty Boop.
Betty Boop is wearing black gloves with LEDs inserted at the tip of each finger. When she rises out of the coffin, the lights are programmed to switch on.
Background music Max Raabe and his Palast Orchestra.
With the arrival of each new visitor Betty Boop rises out of the coffin and begins to dance to Max Raabe’s songs. Betty Boop comes out of the coffin, her LED-lit fingers switched on, dances, then goes back to sleep again switching off the light on her fingertips. Meanwhile a projection of betty boop’s cartoons is made to the sound of Cab Calloway’s voice in the background.
The entire setting is lit with power-LED lighting at 6500K and dimmed to adapt to the scenography.
