POINT OF VIEW WINDOW
A window is the border barrier between inside and outside, between private and public space. Through a window you look out or you're curious about what goes on inside. The house where you live determines your way of seeing the world. At the same time you can not bear people to look inside because you want to protect your privacy. Therefore we use shutters or curtains. We screen ourselves. At the same time we want to show who we are to the outside world. In extreme cases, a window a window where the attention of passers-by pulled.
I draw with oil or soap on tinted windows, making them opaque and out of sight in some places hidden. But while the reality behind the window plays a role, through the holes in the drawing. At different times of the day I take pictures of this drawing, saving time and light play a role. The films are as a result. In my photos I put my gaze, and will set up the gaze of the viewer. The drawings are a symbol of the obstacles to watch.
