As this piece is located in the Victorian era - I will be using period images as reference - in particular, early photography and the very first films.
-
I really like the quality of these prints, especially the bleached, blurred vignette that is so synonymous with the period.

Motion references will be very early cinema - not only the aesthetic that happened as a consequence of the equipment, but also the style of montage storytelling pre-sound.
A favourite example is that of the abstract sequences of the surrealist film Un Chien Andalou by Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali
Another contextual reference (though more contemporary) is the work of the Brothers Quay, in particular the largely live-action Institute Benjementa, which adopts a similar abstract montage structure and also a similar dream-like quality
