In this image, the use of gobo patterns creates the illusion of big windows filtering in light from the back. I think that this was quite a clever alternative to trying and putting in real glass windows. This also sidesteps the possible problem of having too much glare through the window panes.

I like the use of this Gobo because it truly transforms the theater. It looks as if it really is coming from the ceiling. It is able to capture a look of an abandon building with the aid of the coloring and the smoke that is added to the room.
