Ophelia
Ophelia combines two McGuire artworks: Ophelia’s Ghost, a life size projection of a drowning woman into a water feature and Jam Jar Fairies, a series of small holographic video sculptures featuring fairies fluttering in jam jars.
Similar to the fairy sculptures Ophelia plays with the idea of trapping something beautiful and rare and presenting it in a display cabinet. Ophelia comes as a small cabinet housing a bottle and all technical equipment. It must be hung on a wall where it can easily be switched on and off via a remote control.
