Sculpt is a "social science fiction" film written and directed by artist Loris Gréaud. Produced for LACMA, the film is Gréaud’s first major exhibition project on the west coast of the United States, as well as his first feature-length film. It stars Willem Dafoe, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Abel Ferrara, and features an appearance from The Residents.
The film's score consists of previously released material by The Residents; a soundtrack album, containing The Residents' music, was sold as a limited edition CD at the premiere screening of the film.
History[]
For the presentation, which premiered on August 16th 2016, 599 of the 600 seats in LACMA’s Bing Theater were booked out, reconfiguring the space to accept only one audience member at a time. Each screening of Sculpt is therefore turned into a unique one-person experience, with the movie effectively "watching its visitor as it is watched".
Screenings took place due to a generous loan from Voodoo Queen Priestess Miriam Chamani, who has permitted its distribution solely at LACMA, to whom the film is on loan for an unspecified time.
