Description

By analyzing the Chinese painting named “江山秋色圖卷” was created by 趙伯駒 on end of Sung period, and its narrative, I have studied the projective geometry of the painting and its objects transforming it into plan view. Thus, I have created a methodology to assess the ,construction’ of the painting and to give the right impression of the objects height, width, depth and position in relation to each other and within the overall landscape setting. This further allows me to speculate about the visual representation of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface by exploring different relationships between the architectural elements and landscape features. Through the manipulation of their boundaries between exterior and interior, between public and private, between natural and man-made different configurations are generated in plan view as well as transforming it back into the Chinese painting frame of reference creating different compositions resulting in a change of narrative.
