Details

Within these spaces, two-dimensional images interfere with three-dimensional forms and collapse the sense of time. The potential exists for the space to trigger both curiosity about the history of the rooms and an imagined future scenario. The space becomes animated; ghosts triggered by a sense of abandonment and enhanced by the movement of a window or a light turning on suggest an animate presence. This brings to life those feelings of pleasant unease when our imaginations run away from us and every tiny creak or knock signals a visit from the past or the presence of a stranger.
