Series – Behind Is Art
by photographer Quang Lam
The concept of gaze (often also called the gaze or, in French, le regard), in analysing visual culture, is one that deals with how an audience views the people, objects presented. The concept of the gaze was first discussed by 1960s French intellectuals.
This series is investigating the gaze in art, about what we expect to find behind Art while looking at it. These photos haven been taken at the Art Fair 2019 at Taipei. They show people watching at artworks hanged on the walls and the space behind these walls
The series suggest that our relationship with Art is linked to the representation of the space. So the frame of the painting is more a window to a hidden mirror of our own world.
