From After Taste: Expanded Practice in Interior Design
QUAY: In Rehearsals, we put very thin wire just slightly in front of the wallpaper and plucked them so you get the feeling that the wall and the stripes of the wallpaper aren’t stable. The space has to be in flux. Our characters always tend to enter into a space that’s powerfully in flux or is concealing its potential; they tend to be baffled by the space, it’s full of traps, holes that, if an errant subject comes into the frame, can clamp down at the click of a finger. Somebody can come along and energize a space and suddenly a wall’s released, a drawer flies open!”
