In a Landscape (Digital print on Wood 2014) is a
collaboration project between artist and stage director Martin Butler and digital painter Floris Didden. Inspired by
early 19th centuary theatre design, Floris created a three dimensional digital painting allowing you to
enter into a fairy realm. Using the classical stage principles of Trompe-l'œil, and forced perspective,
the viewer is able to peer into and enter this represenation of a world between worlds. The piece was
orginally commissioned for the mediamatic lightness exhibition " Fays, Fairies and Other Magical
Creatures".
