A CANVAS IS NO WALL.

The cinema space and its empty, carefully illuminated, white canvas, released by the opened curtain.

A CANVAS IS NO WALL.

Video Installation, Christian Fröhlich.
Austrian Filmmuseum, 2009.

The Light Rehearsal.
As Daniel Kehlmann calls his “first and most impressive theatre experience”, in which a crystal chandelier coming down and going up again inside the “vast auditorium” during a lighting test flooding the space with light and shadow. “No theatre performance ever reached this.“

Similarly I experienced the cinema space and its empty, carefully illuminated, white canvas, which was released by the opened curtain.
