Guests arrived with a large projection showing the ‘Time’s the Charm’ short film. Progressing upstairs through the narrow staircase, the two long scenic backdrop painting galleries lead you through a contrasting journey between the heritage classical collection of shoes and the bold, colourful artistic range.
The classical collection shoes played with the perspective of the long narrow space by being displayed on identical rectangular suspended frames. The illusional airy corridor reflected back from the clear Perspex edges, multiplying the minimalist space. Further movement was added by the kinetic ‘Machine a Marcher’- an installation of wooden shoe forms.

The second space with its paint-splashed walls continued the rectangular perspective theme. Consecutive ‘arches’ were printed with the colourful psychedelic motifs from the film and the sky above. The 12m high glass ceiling of the gallery formed a distorting backdrop.
The film scene of the character entering through a painting into a psychedelic world was reproduced as a peephole, through which the guests can look through to find a dimly lit leather workshop.
