Part of Marsian De Lellis’ D+R Residency
March 18-31, 2019
ABOUT THE RESIDENCY //
Model Killer is a morbid comedy centered on a disgruntled dollhouse maker turned investigator. Vivian Nutt builds dioramas of unsolved murders, only for it to be revealed that she is in fact, a serial killer. In Model Killer, De Lellis creates a universe in which they invite the viewer to reconsider female serial killers, the historically feminine craft of miniatures, and murder as entertainment.
This will be a work-in-progress research presentation of Model Killer.
