Perspective is a folly that gives the optical illusion of a summerhouse.
From specific points of view, the work blends in optimally with its environment as a space where plants bloom. The work is a still life that only gives the perfect image from the "right" line of sight in the "right" way.
This work originated in the style garden of the Beeckestijn estate.
A style garden is designed from an ideal perspective on beauty and manufacturability. A folly is a structure made to decorate the garden but gives the illusion of having (had) a different function.
Perspective is a painting of a garden house with a false perspective, making the folly appear to have volume.
