Zoetrope

Zoetrope- A 19th-century optical toy consisting of a cylinder with a series of pictures on the inner surface that, when viewed through slits with the cylinder rotating, give an impression of continuous motion

Now the ideas are flowing!

I aim to produce a series of three of these to display shadow puppet movement, using a cylindrical lampshade like structure and covering them in birmingham city maps, travel tickets etc as a kind of collage of travel, visitors and views of the city. These will accompany the static shadows reflected onto the hung drapes.
