In a house with distorted perspectives, the inhabitants are not on the same wavelength.
In an architecturally impossible house three characters are stuck together (or alienated from each other) following particular routines instead of (or because of) the fact that the closest surroundings undergo a constant change. A compelling visuality based on mixed hand techniques, saturated color palette, vibrating textures, and unpretentious drifts between figurative representations associated with Western and Eastern traditions of graphic arts, validates this dream-like reality as a world “real enough” to immerse in, and disqualifies any signals coming from external contexts.
