Juliette Losq’s research examines installation drawing as an immersive, spatial medium emerging from her PhD’s sustained reflection on ruined landscapes and representational drawing. Through archival research she identified the nineteenth-century paper perspective view, or Teleorama, as the foundation for what she defines as “installation drawing” (Losq, 2023): a hybrid form distinguished by its capacity to generate navigable physical space while simultaneously representing a virtual, layered drawn environment. Her doctoral research introduced the concept of “layered vision,” describing how multiple viewpoints, temporalities, and spatial layers coexist within a single structure.

Her current research adapts installation drawing through the lens of neurodivergent perception, drawing on the theory of monotropism (Dwyer et al., 2024) to explore how focused “attention tunnels” might be spatially configured and shared. In contrast to technologically spectacular models of immersion, she investigates how historical optical devices and lighting techniques can inform inclusive, low-stimulus installation formats that support sustained attention, particularly for individuals with ADHD and autism, while opening alternative experiences of time and space for neurotypical audiences. In 2024, she was awarded the Stephen Herbert Award to conduct archival research at the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum, University of Exeter, where she examined perspective views, vues d’optiques, raree shows, and historical illusionistic lighting. Her research positions installation drawing as a critical and practice-led framework for rethinking immersive experience within contemporary gallery and museum contexts.
