PAINTING:
'CARD PLAYERS IN A SUNLIT ROOM' by PIETER de HOOCH
1658, OIL ON CANVAS, 76.2 x 66.1 cm

NARRATIVE:
AN ELABORATE FACADE OF LIGHT TO CONCEAL THE CHARLATAN'S LAIR

SPACES:
FACADE + LAIR traversed via the TRANSITION

SETTING: TUSCANY, ITALY
+ RICH IN CULTURE, SAID BIRTHPLACE OF ITALIAN RENAISSANCE
+ HOME TO NUMEROUS INFLUENTIAL HISTORICAL FIGURES
+ HILLY REGION DOTTED WITH VILLAS
+ CHARACTERISTIC WARM LIGHT

INSPIRATION TAKEN FROM THE PAINTING:
+ DE HOOCH'S USE OF DOORKIJKJE, WHERE HE ESTABLISHES A SENSE OF DEPTH IN THE ARTWORK
+ SINGLE-POINT PERSPECTIVE TO EXAGGERATE THE FEELING OF LARGE SPACE
+ USE OF LIGHT TO REVEAL SPATIAL VOLUME

KEY IDEAS BEHIND THE DESIGN:
+ LIGHT, NOT AS A REVEALER OF 'TRUTH,' BUT AS A GUISE FOR IT
+ FILTERING AND FUNNELING LIGHT SYMBOLISING THE MANIPULATION OF 'TRUTH'
+ LITERAL & FIGURATIVE DISTORTION OF PERSPECTIVE
