We talked about the threshold between rooms. Mel recommended Terance Koh's work (a Whitney installation) Brimming from a Ray of Light for its lighting design. Mel was mainly concerned with the design of the first room which takes up most of the space, but says less than it might.
She rightly advised me to activate the imagery in the doorway. It will be extremely important as it is the threshold between the two rooms - the two states of mind. What should its shape/size/texture reference?
Mel suggests that the doorway, if not an arch referring to Islamic architecture, be a direct reference to tombs. Should there be one, or three openings the size of caskets?
