I popped down one of my rabbit holes. I thought about what interiors, scene setting, costumes, light and objects mean, how we use them, how they set the scene, inform our identity and change our moods.
If created collectively they can become oppressive. If created as a family, or culturally they identify, by an authority they control…. It had all started with a what’s app message from FM.
As the critic points out in this review of Lover Come back there are deep dark secrets around in 1950 NY but the audience in this RomCom is allowed to discover them in a gently humorous way without judgement and make their own minds up.
Pillow Talk.
unforgivable interiors to set the mood or take to revenge.
The audience can be in on the joke or not.
The set is part of the joke and beautifully done, sets the scene – always makes me laugh.
Straight immersive experience at Japan house, I visited for a second time and found it just as effective.

FM asked about the sensory rooms that I used to be in C&W hospital.
As my girls were all IVF and birthed @ C&W. I have known the Hospital for at least 25 Years. I stayed there for a month waiting for my third child to arrive. I know the Art and a lot of the staff. When a new medical condition rears its unwelcome head or the departments are moved I find new paintings. The school is wonderful and always have really great projects which they send around the Childrens wards. I often popped in and chilled in the sensory room as the waits for appointments we’re sometimes long.
The nearest thing I have seen since are the Kusama infinity installations of which I am a huge fan.
Um. Question of how to set the scene or is the scene the set?
