The project refers to design a device to view through the portholes. It is about everyday space changing how the observer sees other spaces through these portholes from different points of view.
Peter Greenaway’s "The draughtsman’s contract" can be a good narrative for the project. It is a witty, stylized, erotic country-house murder mystery. In an apparently idyllic 17th-century Wiltshire, an ambitious draughtsman is commissioned by an aristocrat's wife to produce 12 drawings of her husband's estate, in return for which he will receive payment, board and bed-hers (1). The film is deftly shot, each scene composed as if it were a painting, using landscape, light and finery to full effect (2).
