Forensic, reflection-controlled lighting lets countermarks, scratches and overprints read like testimony. Matte surrounds, cross-polarisation and tight shutters keep glazing quiet, while a restrained ambient level protects both eyes and argument. Tonal shifts mark thematic pivots so visitors sense the narrative temperature change without theatricality.
“Bold, inventive and thought-provoking.” — Museums Journal
