In The Family Portrait, the space is seen and portrayed with equal importance as other characters. The space of the villa is used to emanate the feeling of intrusion into someone’s intimate, quiet spaces and to portray the consequences caused by such an act. The family members are portrayed in outbursts of sudden unfortunate actions and crowded scenes, but also captured in moments of quiet introspection.This particular tangled story is told through subtle actions, narrative architecture and clues that lie in little details. The rich textures and tactile quality of traditional puppet animation make it a suitable technique to depict the still, mundane, and meditative atmosphere that the characters intrude into when venturing uninvited into someone’s home.
