Laurie Simmons Makes Puppets Into People

http://www.art21.org/thepresentperfect/event/ "As the music (in my film) became more complex, as the emotions and thoughts became more complex I wasn't sure a puppet could carry Act Two. That's when I decided the puppet would become a real woman." -- filmmaker and photographer Laurie Simmons, on her unorthodox work. Ask Laurie why she chose Meryl Streep as the puppet's human form, and other questions during "The Present Perfect with Art:21," a live and online event June 23.

Slightly disturbing.

It reminds me of those evil dummies from shows like Goosebumps ("Night of the Living Dummy" I believe it was called), the Twihlight Zone, the Outer Limits, and of course, the Child's Play movies.
