Piccadilly : Royal Academy : PsychoBarn by Camilla Parker
"Standing at nearly 30 feet tall, the structure has multiple layers and complexities of reference. As with many of Parker’s projects, the found object is a key element. The components of a dismantled traditional American red barn have been appropriated; the planks of the long sidings becoming the house’s walls and its corrugated roof providing material for the roofing tiles. The design is based on the Bates family motel seen in Alfred Hitchcock’s film Psycho (1960), which in turn was modelled on a painting by Edward Hopper, House by the Railroad (1925). This painting was also a reference point for Parker, who was drawn to its sparseness and sense of eerie isolation." - LinkExternal link
