Interstitial is a perspectival drawing machine that examines the space between two buildings. Each composition is constructed around a vanishing point, framing an empty corridor of ground, light, and shadow. The resulting scenes evoke the metaphysical atmosphere of Giorgio de Chirico’s paintings, where exaggerated perspective, elongated shadows, and vacant urban settings create a quiet sense of melancholy. At the same time, they recall the dramatic perspectival distortions found in the work of Ed Ruscha, whose depictions of streets and facades transform ordinary architecture into theatrical spatial events. Within this restrained framework, subtle variations in color, proportion, and illumination produce a wide range of moods. By focusing attention on the interstitial space between structures, the project shifts the viewer’s gaze away from buildings as objects and toward the charged, often overlooked spaces that cities inevitably create.
