Images of the Scenic Space between Reality and Illusion. Projective Transformations of the Scene in the Renaissance Theatre

Abstract

This study focuses on an analysis of perceiving the infinite “solid images” derived from the projective transformations of space in a relief perspective, with particular reference to Renaissance theatre scenery. Today it is possible to simulate the projective transformations of the scenic space in a parametric environment, dynamically. This parameterization allows to analyze the effects of visual perception of the scene, through the dynamic control of its projective transformations. The main objective of this study is the exploration of the places of the projective transformation straddling reality and illusion, where the metamorphosis of the space triggers changeable processes of perception. changeable processes of perception.
