Bringing together the props, costumes, photography and maquettes used in the ‘film’, directed by the fictictious Italian director Jesus Rinzoli, this immersive audio-visual installation utilises found footage that plays with the senses.

Rachel Maclean, The Zabludowicz Collection, London
Glasgow-based artist Rachel Maclean weaves together appropriated audio and a multitude of narrative references to form darkly comic odysseys. The focal point of this show is her film Over the Rainbow, an absurdist reworking of Faustian and horror movie genres inspired by the Technicolor utopias of children’s television and the tribulations of talent shows.
Until 23 February, www.zabludowiczcollection.com/
Rachel Maclean, The Lion and The Unicorn.
