Space illusion idea

Victoria Thierrée Chaplin, aurelia's oratorio, 2008
Right pic/ The performer creates an illusion that her limbs can move from drawers to drawers at ease. It looks like her body is deconstructed and moving remotely.
Left pic/ There is a train driving theough the performer's body.
In this show, I admired the way performers use the space and how all objects move to create illusions. There is a period of time when all things are living upside down. And sometimes the inside of the stage becomes outside of it because things move out from the right move in from the left at the same time. Very impressive.

Jan Svankmajer, Darkness Light Darkness


I see different ways of receiving information from a door and a lot of imagination behind it in this piece.

Inside Outside
Being inspired by many movies and performances. I am interested in how vision can change one's perspective and perception of a space. I would like to create a door that generate illusion of the inside is the outside to question where the user is.


Plan/
When a user passes the door, it would release knocking sound. When he tries to look into the door viwer, he would see himself inside the room.
Material/
Half-transparent glass, door viewer, screen, software



test with card board and mac laptop
result/
It looks like facing a mirror with a little time lag.
It needs to be added after effect of fish-eye looking view on the screen.
