Game Over


Tribute to Silent Hill.
Location- CAFAC Boiler Room in South Minneapolis
Costume by Dayna Deau
Photography, Lighting and Set by Courtney Conk

When worlds collide.

Thursday the 28th had a rough beginning. Something that made me wonder why I collaborate with people.

After focusing my energy on this Silent Hill project, I know why. I traded my craft [photography] for CAFAC.org. They have an amazing space, are amazing people, and are offering all kinds of metallurgy classes now [see older posts]. One lucky shoot Roger showed me the boiler room, after I mentioned I was into creepy basement. They for sure have THE creepiest 1930s boiler room basement, plentiful with lead, coal, dust and possibly asbestos. But look at this set, is it worth it?

Dayna Deau worked on this costume for over a year as her homage to Silent Hill. I knew the first game, and worked off that dirty scary feeling it gave me. The textures and video loops in the game amazed me, and I wanted to recreate that. And I did!

So we toiled and troubled and made something amazing. I am giddy and exhausted, cuz I got so many. You can see the rest on my Facebook Page CC Photo Arts.

Much creepy love,
CC
