A Ladder in front of the Ministry
We live in a society where the ones in power might not be the personalities we see in the media, rather those unknown ones hidding behind.
In this absence of information where we only see the performative side, the image of power behind the performance relies on our imagination. Reflecting ourselves in the perception of images as we project our expectations and judgements towards each frame we see. Creating an opaque mirror where a new image of power is redefined.
This collection of images related to mechanisms of power, surveillance and control, challenges the viewer by turning into witnesses of voyeuristic photographs that seem real. Or are they staged? Are the events of politics, their spheres of power and their consequences the way they are shown and the way we imagine them to be? Are the clichés seen in movies and stereotypes bigger than reality covering for the absence of information? Can the collective memory of a theme be transformed and re-installed just like a plug-in
