"Same Picture, Different Poses" is a narrative built on the personal relationship and life experiences of Kyle Driggs and Andrea Murillo, showcasing an image of extraordinary intimacy.

The piece takes place in the setting of a living room, where a couple reflects upon the inner workings of their coexistence through detailed movement portraits. As the story unfolds, subtle moments of illusion are revealed. Magic and reality bleed into one another, leaving the couple consumed by their own supernatural alter egos. As the characters seek resolution, they find themselves back in the comfort of their living room –– only to realize that they never actually left.
