Vue De Dos
This exhibition showcased works of art that depict figures seen from the back, exploring themes of anonymity, introspection, and the viewer鈥檚 relationship to the subject. The artworks featured in such exhibitions often prompt viewers to consider the significance of the obscured or hidden perspective, inviting contemplation about what is not immediately visible.
The artworks predominantly feature introspective female figures, often with their faces obscured. This theme is notably prevalent in the works of Lara Gasparotto, where many figures are depicted from behind. Similarly, Japanese artist Daido Moriyama frequently captures women鈥檚 back in his street photography and intimate portraits. Ren hang has also created some beautiful works with backs, exceptionally 2 are on display in the expo.
As well as a beautiful portrait of Francesca Woodman from her period in Rome. Additionally, Daisuke Yokota鈥檚 exhibition exclusively presents works from his vertigo and tarantine series.
In a world concentrated on the self-portrait and selfies, images of a back hardly allow identification, they are anonymous. We do not really get a grip on the characters, the images are disturbing to us, mysterious, and arouse our curiosity.
They are murmuring, interpellating, a question mark rather than an exclamation mark. The depiction of figures seen from behind has been a consistent motif throughout the history of Western art, yet it has seldom been the central focus of artistic exploration. We therefore see this theme professionally in painting or photography, with Elina Brotherus for example, german romantic painting, with Magritte, Borremans, Bonnard and others.This exhibition shows a selection of paintings and photographs by artists who often use this form of depiction.
