2017 British Independent Film Award Nomination for Production Design
Production Designer: Robin Brown
An immersive booth collaboration, this time with the Jean Dubuffet inspired “Asylum.”
Light opera music is audible as you approach the stand which consists of three rooms. The first appears to be a sparse doctor’s study, complete with notes and stethoscopes. Next is the small and simple room of a patient, the walls covered with drawings. The final communal room is filled with chairs and tables. Again, the walls are covered with writing and drawings.
The intricate recreation of rooms in a 1940s asylum retraces the inspiration for the works facing them. Dubuffet began to paint in what became known as the Art Brut style after visiting many asylums in France, and Switzerland, where he collected artworks made by the patients, the mentally ill, but also by children, and others at the fringes of society.
This atmospheric set at Frieze Masters is an ideal foil to the Dubuffet works, echoing their style and heightening their bright colours and free composition.
