Extreme low- angle, worm's- eye view: a luminous ping- pong sphere, crudely drawn smiley face, hovers, slowly rotating. Monumental against a dust- choked, cobweb- strewn abandoned playroom, subtly blurred background. Cinematic lighting by Darius Khondji, Magritte- esque surrealism; dramatic chiaroscuro, shallow depth of field. Muted desaturated umbers and greys, pierced by the sphere's vibrant orange glow. Single overhead spotlight casting long, eerie shadows. Smooth scuffed plastic, brittle wood, silken cobwebs. Unsettling nostalgia, playful menace. Motes of dust dance in the light beam; a forgotten toy block in deep shadow
