The Funhouse turns a place designed to sell controlled fright into a space where the exit can no longer be taken for granted. Its carnival setting keeps performance and observation closely connected. Watch how the movement from attraction to enclosure changes the same scenery: what first appears as colorful decoration becomes a map of concealment and obstruction.
