David Lee Pereira, Shannyn Higgins, set design by Hera Wing, 2020
‘The idea of this portrait series was to emulate the lighting and design elements of the artwork and incorporate the artist into a scene they had created.
While collaborating with David we decided to pursue a feast-inspired aesthetic, so I got Hera Wing on as set designer and she created this baroque scene.
The scene was set with a lot of trust and experimentation, and we then dipped fruit into lubricant to emulate David’s work and create this very sticky yet beautiful feel.’
