Imogen -Beauty salon and fridge drawings
Ruth Etting |
When the viewer jumps down the walls and walks past the rope of the previous stage they come to another singing robot, this time its Ruth Etting. She stands outside a beauty salon singing a song called "All of me". Inside is this poem.
Imogen mused
that she was more pigeon than swan
as she climbed down the walls
to the Beauty Salon
She entered a room
surrounded by chairs
lowered the curlers
and singed feather to hair
Her disguise now complete
she walked to the ceiling
and saw a vision emerge
in her dream revealing
a future suppressed
like fading notes to a song
that we desperately grasp
yet can not prolong.

Imogen and her hair curlers |
must use the feather to get to the hole in the ceiling |
A darkened kitchen
strewn with blank paper
once a child's drawings
now dispersed like vapor
This future denied
left her mind frayed
so her reality for dreams
was what she'd trade
She fled this scene
unable to bear
and rushed to her pigeons
to find comfort there.

At this point in the salon Imogen has a vision of a future that was
denied her. Her focus is pulled away from her quest to find the pigeons,
bringing her back to the painful memories of her lost child. The
vision is of a darkened kitchen with just a glowing fridge. The floor strewn with blank pages that a child has never drawn upon. A fridge with no artworks suspended by magnets. She forces these thoughts aside and rushes now to find her salvation. Opening the door to the refrigerator and entering allows us to continue along her warped and changing reality.
