DEPRESSION CHAMBER
Built for Ari Folman a sensory “depression chamber.” in witch Visitors
are invited, one at a time, to enter a sarcophagus-like environment and be plunged into an other-worldly experience. As Leonard Cohen’s song “Famous Blue Raincoat” plays, the visitor’s image
appears on the ceiling of the box, while projected lyrics of the song begin to slowly morph, letter by
letter, through animation, into icons that symbolize Cohen’s multi-faceted thematic universe. These
images flood the space, gradually shrouding the visitor’s image.
