”Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.”

‘The Decay of Lying’, Oscar Wilde

 This work embodies a series of staged photographs. Photographic and cinematographic clichés and conventions are placed in a different order to create new images. In a studio fake rooms (bedrooms, living rooms, waiting rooms,…) are built in which one or several models act out a part. There is no eye contact between the model and the spectator, thus resulting in a certain distance. This in turn originates an indefinability that needs to be filled in by the spectator. The spectator’s choices however, are limited by a song text engraved in glass. The interpretation of this text is again subjective.
