The Space Between – Danielle Stasiuk

This photographic series was created in response to the world of Blithe Spirit—a story where the ordinary rhythms of domestic life are interrupted by the presence of something unseen. Rather than recreate scenes from the stage, these images explore the space between moments: the atmosphere, tension, and quiet absurdity that exists when the living and the spectral briefly share the same room.

Each image draws inspiration from the play’s themes of memory, love, jealousy, and lingering presence. A séance table waiting in candlelight, an empty chair that seems occupied, a man caught between two women—one tangible and one not—suggest a world where absence is as powerful as presence. Objects shift slightly, a glass hovers, a letter tears, and a spirit lingers in a hallway that leads somewhere just beyond the visible.

The work reimagines the elegant domestic world of the 1930s within a pared-back studio setting—white walls, light hardwood floors, and carefully placed objects suggesting a home rather than fully constructing one. This minimal environment strips the scenes to their essentials, allowing gesture, light, and subtle disruption to take focus. A cocktail glass, a letter, a chair—each becomes more pronounced, more deliberate. Within this quiet, controlled space, the supernatural feels even more immediate. Small shifts carry weight. Humor and unease coexist in the stillness, echoing the wit and tension found in Noël Coward’s writing.

Faces are often obscured or suggested rather than revealed, inviting viewers to project themselves into the scene. In doing so, the photographs become less about specific characters and more about the universal human experience of remembering those who have gone before us—and wondering if, perhaps, they have not gone very far at all.

Displayed alongside the performance, these images act as visual echoes of the play. They invite theatre-goers to pause, imagine, and step into a world where the boundary between the living and the unseen is thin, playful, and occasionally impossible to ignore.
