Still image from Nilo Ilarde's video Curtain Call, created in 2011.
The two-channel video projection shows the rise and fall of the curtain of the Little Theater of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, which was designed by Roberto Chabet in the early 1970s (shown in the photo). The other image is the control button of the stage curtain which lights up every time the curtain is raised.
The video is part of the group exhibition 'I Miss the 20th Century' at Manila Contemporary from 20 August - 11 September 2011. The exhibition is part of 'Roberto Chabet: Fifty Years' organised by King Kong Art Projects Unlimited in various venues in Singapore, Hong Kong and Manila from 2011 - 2012.
