client
Margaret Jann, Architect

date
April 1984

program
The program was to paint a continuous mural on two walls and a ceiling, completing the architect's scheme of a floor, which appears to have broken through to the lower levelpart of a duplex office space accessed by stairs from below. The mural would appear simultaneously as a 'shadow' of the jagged floor projected on the walls and ceiling and as a "kinetic drawing" constantly changing with the interaction of the moving viewer and the space.

dimensions
8 ft (H) X I Oft (W) each wall.
10 ft (W) X 20 ft (L) ceiling.

status
Completed May 1984

execution
Completed by the artist and two assistants.

materials
Pliolite—a rubber-based oil paint from Goodyear, painted on plaster walls.

This famous Art Deco building is a landmark. It appears in the film Bob le flambeur. That's Bob (Roger Duchesne) seen leaving no. 36 in the last image.
