The Kapsule project is a full-length concert event/film of five connecting vignettes (Bird Cage, Burden, Mirage, Duality, and Canvas) that explore the idea of a life cycle based on Lawrence’s upbringing. The project integrates photography, film, and live performance and can be reimagined in various settings, including live stages, film theaters, and galleries.
Kapsule investigates the relationship between environmental psychology and movement and strategically selects distinctive places to depict specific timelines, including childhood, past, present, future, and afterlife. The cast traveled to the winter streets of Toronto, the white sand and southwestern wonders of New Mexico, and the glaciers and waterfalls of Iceland to film this ambitious project.
For gallery exhibition, the Kapsule project includes a collection of fifteen photographic fine art pieces as well as inspirational text that supports each chapter. The Kapsule film itself can be divided into five parts to be shown alongside the photographic prints or a standalone if projection is available.
Kapsule’s first debuted three sold-out showings on November 8th, 9th, and 10th of 2019 at the Nelson Fine Arts Center at Arizona State University.
In October of 2020, the Kapsule project earned itself a month long solo exhibition at the Foundre Contemporary Gallery in Downtown Phoenix. The photographic prints and film were showcased inside the gallery, alongside a public installation of vertical projection of the film playing on the wall of the 4 story hotel building.
