Façade
Façade, a series of images shot on various film sets, depicts the duality of film making – the ‘interior’ emotional nature of acting versus the ‘exterior’ technical work with lights, camera’s and costumes. Actors, who operate on the hazy border of these two realities, are shown obscured by film paraphernalia.
