Original work of art: Peacock Spreading Its Tail Feathers by Giuseppe Castiglione
This installation takes Castiglione’s painting of two peacocks and separates its iconographic elements into layers that are then individually printed onto a succession of large glass panes. This spatial and optical re-formulation of the painting illuminates the unique fusion of Western single-point perspective and Chinese painterly aesthetics that Castiglione achieved in his work.
