In front of the Coulisses
2006
The work ‘In front of the Coulisses’ illustrates a different approach to viewing and analyzing an image on two levels. The first contains the scene at the moment the viewer become conscious of it. The second is related to a part that is not completely absent, but that requires an effort to move 180 degrees so the unseen parts would be combined with the parts present at the initial moment of consciousness.
This work can be explained as a production and reproduction process of the elements of the same image. The relationship between the front and the back scenes is built on a cognized signification and a concerted effort to relocate the back scene to the front. This draining of effort through the transferred scene causes a loss of certain details- a result of using the dormant energy of the back scene.
The title ‘In front of the Coulisses’ places the viewer in a single scene. All the elements that were behind have now come to the front. The scene is of particular events that occur within and outside the range of vision, while emphasizing on the idea of change in expended energy to remove the back scene with different degrees of clarity, symbolizing the different capacities of human beings to remember and memorize. We might notice that a shot taken through a lens is different than what an eye sees. The eye can see 180 degrees around, while the lens has a smaller range. The lens was used here to clarify that idea.
