Undercurrent: the disappearance of kim wall

We designed and constructed six dioramas with props, as well as miniature figures for Erin Lee Carr’s HBO documentary “Undercurrent”, the story of the murder of journalist Kim Wall. The dioramas - a submarine interior, a courtroom, and four apartment interiors – depicted spaces the film crew could not gain access to. We designed each of these spaces based on photographs and video, in approximately 1:10 scale. Portraits of the principal figures were sculpted by hand in miniature, scanned in 360 degrees, scaled down and printed in 3D. The printed heads were attached to digitized and printed bodies, then carefully painted in the likeness of the subjects.
