“Parallax, from Greek parallaxis, ‘change’, displacement of the apparent position of a body, due to a change of position of the observer.”

I see theater design as a midpoint between painting and design. Theater design materializes painting perspective techniques to create spatial images, e.g. raking walls to perform trompe-l’oeil. I begin my research with theater venues -e.g. a theater in the Guggenheim museum- but become more interested in the architecture of the museum as a performance. I become interested in making a space that performs perspective techniques, analyzing artists Sarah Sze and El Lisitzky to further my investigation. My project was also informed by Oliver Grau’s definition of immersion as the visualization of complex systems with the eye as a sensory mediator.
