Bell Box - Natasha Kudashkina

Close-up detail of figures in costume about to kiss, from a Bellbox outside the Alumnae Theatre, Toronto

Location: 70 Berkeley St., just south of Adelaide
Date photo taken: 15 September 2013
Image #10 in the Bellbox Series

This is a detail from another painted Bell box, this one outside 70 Berkeley Street, the home of the Alumnae Theatre. The artist, Natasha Kudashkina, was given the theme of Commedia dell'arte and she has used her box to tell a story. The scene as seen from the street starts the tale, and the back, closer to the theatre, presents the conclusion. Can you guess which side this is from?

There's a video of the work in progress on the artist's website.
