Curtains

Curtains is an ongoing photographic series that installs freestanding red theater curtains directly into remote landscapes. Removed from architecture, they stand alone against the terrain, transforming open land into spectacle.

The curtain is both invitation and obstruction. It promises revelation while withholding it, marking the boundary between audience and performance, fiction and reality. The gesture is intentionally absurd and grandiose, echoing a culture that elevates spectacle as a primary mode of experience.

The curtains bifurcate space into seen and unseen, “real” and staged. At times I appear within or behind them; at others I am absent. This oscillation destabilizes authorship and spectatorship: we are performers, audience, and yes—sometimes stagehands, within our own constructed realities.
