The photo just gave me an idea for a project, probably already been tried. What if one were to decorate/furnish a house or apartment with life-size photos of the objects as opposed to the objects themselves?
You kitchen cabinet is a start. Photos would be displayed in the normal position and expected orientation of the the object. A sofa photograph would be put on the wall where the sofa goes, whereas a coffee table photo in front of it would lay flat on the floor. Kind of a weird 2-D interior.
