We were commissioned by curator Han Decorte to reconstruct a gilt leather pattern for the exhibition 'KIJK' at NEST Stadslab Damme (B). This 18th century piece is part of the heritage collection of the Old Sint-Janshospitaal, caring community dating back to the 13th century and active untill 2014.
Left, the original piece of gilt leather. On the right, the digital recontruction with a matching repeat pattern.
Atelier Billiet reconstructed the missing parts of the repeat and reproduced the design as a wallpaper to adorn the ceiling of the 'Wunderkamer' in the center of the exhibition.
The digital pictures arrived in 28 pieces with not a single one photograhed straight. |
For the installation and paintworks we contacted Perfex Behangwerken. They did a great job! We all know that wallpapering a ceiling is not at all easy...
