ABSTRACT
Our general theme, making atmospheres, has a provocative character. It sounds slightly perverse, even paradoxical. Making – does that not have to do with something tangible? With the world of concrete things and apparatuses? And atmosphere – is that not something airy, indefinite, something which is simply there and comes over us? How is one supposed to make atmospheres? Well, there is one sphere in which that has actually been going on for a long time: the art of the stage set. In it we have a paradigm which not only encourages us in our enterprise but endows the idea of making atmospheres with objective reality.
