“这是什么？ 这是梦境的组成部分。” “What is this? The stuff that dreams are made of.”

Sam Spade（Bogart）对线条的崇拜同样总结了典型的《马耳他之鹰》作品的形式，这一形式通常被认为是黑白电影的原型，John Huston的作品引领了20世纪40年代电影界的潮流。本项目中，设计者将神秘的、充满阴谋和阴暗的叙述隐藏在城市喜怒无常的夜晚中。在这个充满阴影的坚韧世界中，主角们在黑暗笼罩中以聚光灯作为月光进行演绎。这部电影完全在华纳兄弟的外景地进行拍摄，以低调的明暗灯光、迷宫版的昏暗街道和阴暗的后巷为特色，集中展示了鲜明的视觉风格和角色愤世嫉俗的情绪。

Sam Spade’s (Bogart) cult lines conclude the equally quintessential Maltese Falcon. Often considered to be the archetype of the film noir genre. John Huston’s movie is a trendsetter of the cinematic genre that emerged in the 1940s. Here, mysteries, schemes and shadowy narratives are set in a moody urban decor at night. In a gritty world of shadows, the protagonists evolve with darkness wrapped all around them and the moon as a spotlight. Shot entirely in Warner Bros backlot, the film’s cinematography, marked by its chiaroscuro low key lighting, labyrinth of dimly lit streets and shadowy back alleys epitomizes the visual style and the cynical nature of the characters.

这个位于日内瓦的电影后期工作室中的装饰利用了类似的策略来营造独特的氛围。空间完全被一层厚厚的深色油漆所覆盖，既展现了即将发生的动作场景，又作为情节的主要组成部分。超大的（月亮般的）灯光进行人工照明，空空荡荡的街角和巷子正在等待角色的到来。

The new decor of the post-production film studio based in Geneva relies on similar strategies to create a unique atmosphere. Entirely covered in a thick dark layer of paint, the volumes of the project are both the backdrop of the actions to come and the protagonist of the plot. Cinematographic moments appear, artificially lit by oversized (moon)lights. Empty street corners and alleyways await for their characters.

正如Hopper的《夜鹰》（《马耳他之鹰》上映几个月后绘制的作品）中呈现的那样，本项目充当了戏剧开展的舞台。空间中简洁线条和几何形状增强了整体构图的视觉冲击力，捕捉了城市疏离的本质，营造出一种即时性，引发了人们对于隐藏在城市建筑中不为人知的故事的猜测。

As in Hopper’s Nighthawks, painted just a few months after the Maltese Falcon’s release, the architecture serves as a stage upon which the human drama unfolds. Its clean lines and geometric shapes enhance the overall visual impact of the composition, capturing the essence of urban alienation, creating a sense of immediacy and inviting speculation about the stories hidden within the architecture of the cityscape.
