The Belly of an Architect : Opening Pantheon Dinner Scene

Kracklite, his wife, and their Italian co-workers celebrate the start of the Boullée exhibition with a welcome dinner in front of the Pantheon. Kracklite makes a toast to Boullée, and his wife cuts into a large white cake of Boullée's architectural design. The scene introduces the themes and imagery of architecture, gluttony, physical health, gravity, and promiscuity.
