if you can miniaturise something its still the same thing - just smaller, good ideas translate whatever scale right? So if you make a smaller show (I mean tiny) more work would get in - no?
Would Jake & Dinos Chapman's work entitled Fu***ing Hell - see pics, be any better for being lifesize rather than as a scale model?

Taking the challenge further.. Sheffield-based theatre company Forced Entertainment (link) in their show Dirty Work made a piece where there was little in the way of set or cast just imagined scenarios and locations invented infront of the audience using just the voices of the cast. The point is they just spoke ideas and invented images through language describing events in detail and the audience had no need of pictures or set - trust me it worked. The nature of a show or exhibition of any kind is in part a theatrical intervention into space/time. The power of the art of the theatrical is not just lighting and set and nice work but also a play on the senses and as communicaters we should feel free to experiment to find what can be achieved with less.
