New Decor
is a project for which Okón asked permission to use a furniture
store in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of East L.A as the stage
for an improvisational soap-opera. Three cameras were set up so as
to reveal the whole artifice and the process behind the production.
The "actors" were recruited off the streets around the store
during the four-hour period in which the whole piece was shot. The
volunteers had to improvise on "the love scene", "the
jealous girlfriend scene", "the painful breakup scene",
etcetera. The possibilities were endless and the outcome of this artifice
as unpredictable as life.
