"Before AL and AL, Yves Klein
was the ambassador of an
immaterial blue realm that
aimed to be the highest art
form. AL and AL work inside
a blue screen studio.

Edwin Carels

"AL and AL's Blue Screen is like
where the magician goes, it's
where the shaman goes, into
that void."

Grant Morrison
Author of Batman & Superman

 

"AL and AL have referred to
their blue screen studio as
their 'flying carpet', and it
carries them into their own
visions. The blue screen was
anticipated by the methods of
travelling showmen and
theatre technicians as in a
Pollacks toy theatre, in which
the actors are moved on stage
against changing painted flats
and wings, blue screen creates
a space of illusion in which
worlds expand and multiply,
colossi stride, and anyone can
fly and glow. The cosmos
opens up inside a box."

Marina Warner
Author of Phantasmagoria

 

"AL and AL document their lives
together inside the void of their
blue screen studio. AL and AL's
future living room blue screen
studio is a space without a
context, without a 'you are
here' a disembodied space
where they perform and
construct fantasies and
alternate realities taking the
contemporary worlds stratergy
of self representation and
escapism to an extreme."

Karen Allen
