HIDDEN AND REVEALED
Thesis study
I played with where image stops and starts, what’s revealed and what’s hidden in the image. When the setup outside the frame was revealed, it gave the viewer more context and broke the illusion that these could be physical (in the architectural sense) spaces, where real people could reside. It gave information about scale, construction and the limitations of the setup. Mirrors were used as a poetic continuation of the stage. Like a filmmaker composing a scene, I thought about where a reader would situate herself in relation to these stages. Depending on angle and distance from the camera, a viewer would feel at a distance from the scene but as if he or she were peering in, able to climb in at any moment.
