a house is a house — hannah rettl

a house is a houseA house stands in the middle of the room.
Three walls are made of fabric, in the shape of a castle, with battlements, windows, and a gate leading inside.
The fourth wall, made of wood, is printed with a photorealistic trompe-l’oeil and depicts a living room.
The living room window is cut out of the actual wooden wall in the shape of the photo of the window and reveals a screen.
The screen now becomes the view from the house.
The back of the house is freely accessible, allowing visitors to explore the illusion.
