BEYOND THE LITERAL: FROM 'REPRESENTATION' TO 'PROPOSITION'
'The juxtapposition between a figure with open arm and one wrapped in a cloak of gold inevitably invites interpretation along certain lines; whilst leaving scope for personal interpretations to flourish...
By presenting cultural stereotypes rather than individuals, and transposing them in the realm of fiction, wrapped in HUMOUR, this imaginary encounter, shifts our attention from specific events onto generic 'stituations'.
Here, unlike in much photography, viewers are not confronted with the representation of an event, but with an 'open' proposition/s about situations.
This is reinforced by a deliberate recourse to anachronism, which invites us to extrapolate rather than to merely witness an event.
