Rendering Piranesi.
Following an introduction to Giovanni Battista Piranesi’s Carceri d’Invenzione (1761), the project consists in selecting a plate from his works and formulate a strategy for the expansion of the space described within it. Here above is an in process capture of my expanded interpretation of Plate XIII, starting from the smaller 11’’ by 15’’ perspective scheme laid down by Piranesi and drawing from its graphic language. Graphite on paper, 22’’ by 32’’.
