The installation comprised everyday objects which, through their design and varying scales, gave rhythm and composition to the scenic space. The objective was to encourage the spectator to observe the objects from our domestic environment from a different angle and to reconsider the relationship between objects.
The fourth wall evokes an intellectual wall separating the actor on the stage and the spectator in the room. The installation of the objects on a stage puts distance between them and the spectator.The goal of the distance is to lead the spectator to consider what is taking place on the stage with an investigative and critical eye. To distance, is to transform the thing that it is to be understood, to which attention is to be drawn, from something banal, known and immediately fixed, into something distinctive, unusual and unexpected. ” N°111

This project is a reflection upon lighting objects as generators of atmosphere and space. Light is diffused in an indirect way to encompass the place like micro architecture. On the stage, the shape of the lampshade is revealed according to the viewpoint: the profile becomes an established volume.

By varying them, the look and feel of the same object are changed. The implementation allows the craft to each suspension random experimentation. On stage, the suspensions are placed at different heights rhythm space.

The profile of this project is designed in a way to evoke an image of an established landscape. It is a hybrid piece to be used freely, placed on ground level, a play between mass and fragility, volume and aerial. On stage, like theatre décor the Meridian offers different volumes and different layouts according to the viewpoint.
