Behind the Curtain

BtC

Behind the Curtain, 1998. 20min. loop, color, stereo.

One of the strongest metaphors in the movie The Wizard of Oz (USA 1939) is its depiction power as illusion. In Behind the Curtain (1998) the „moment of discovery“ is frozen, and the curtain never reveals the impostor and the groundbreaking revelation hiding behind it.
