BSR Modification Project: a Trompe l'oeil experimentThis installation project is another interpretation of research done in Rome and in Italy on seminal examples of Trompe l'oeil and optical and spatial illusions in Renaissance and Baroque Italian architecture. The gallery space was taken as the basis of the project and as a space to modify. The ''Perspective Machine'' (a plywood framed opening in a wall) was used as a frame to take photographs of different views around the School. The result is a perceptual experience in which the visitor is ''fooled'' (trompé) in thinking that the ''printed windows'' are ''almost real''. The series of fake windows framing views of different elements surrounding the building become a way of situating the visitor (sometimes in unreal, fictional ways) in relation to the exterior.This project was made possible by the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec.
