Memo on design discussion:

Important changes to the layout

Thursday, 14 November 2002, after a visit to the Nieuwe Kerk on Spui.

Present: Victor/Edwin/Hans/Andries/Denis/Ivo:

add alchemical images, icons, symbols, engravings, etchings, etc. Freemasons, Rosicrucians, pyramids, Isis, Osiris, Hecate, Hermes, Pan?… Kabbalistic series, numerical symbolism, etc. It is important that the images projected are cut out, as it were, so that no unwanted hard edges appear on the projection screen.

We use three projections side by side.

Whether or not mirrored around the small temple, it goes without saying that with a backdrop of three temples, three temples are also projected in three places. The storyboard is also in the making, but we first need to collect the images/film/animations so that we can continue working and get an idea of what and how…

1. Set = rocky environment, mountain on the left, temple in the middle (overture)

2. Egyptian chamber

3. Small Egyptian temple

4. Forest with three temples

5. Palm forest… adapt the existing chandeliers with green light?
