Like The Tulse Luper Suitcases, it turns narrative into a densely layered visual archive: baroque compositions, catalogues within catalogues, playful scholarship and deliberately artificial theatricality.

Why this pick
Like The Tulse Luper Suitcases, it turns narrative into a densely layered visual archive: baroque compositions, catalogues within catalogues, playful scholarship and deliberately artificial theatricality.
Why this pick
Its sensuous calligraphy, nested images and coolly elaborate erotic-intellectual design closely match the formal excess and image-driven storytelling of Tulse Luper.
Why this pick
A mock encyclopaedia assembled from obsessive biographies, documents and deadpan connections, this is an especially direct precursor to Tulse Luper's archival, puzzle-box sensibility.
Why this pick
It offers Greenaway's signature cerebral gamesmanship: composed tableaux, cryptic evidence, ritualised dialogue and a mystery whose pleasures lie in pattern, framing and uncertainty.
Why this pick
This shares Tulse Luper's fascination with obsessive collecting and systems of knowledge, rendered through monumental architecture, precise geometry and mordantly formal storytelling.
