Curated by Lupin
A photographed object still remembers that it has another side.

The screen flattens everything. This room pushes back. Marble keeps its weight; bronze keeps the memory of heat; wood keeps the direction in which it once grew; a vessel keeps the emptiness it was shaped to hold.

Use the image as evidence, not a substitute. Follow dimensions, material, and the museum record. Imagine the work at human scale, with light moving around it and a back the camera did not show.
