"What is that?" can be interpreted
in many way - for me it is about being a foreigner or about two species
meeting each other. Each person/being thinks the other is strange and
asks "what is that" - in shock. Here a skull is seen, an alien
something - itself in shock, mouth open staring at you, the viewer, you
in turn staring at it. In a larger sense this piece is about how we all
think what we know is the one way for things to look and be done (and
that where we live is THE center of things, hint hint New Yorkers), the
"other" is always starge to us, and to the other, we are strange.
It is something that only very well travelled people can truly understand
and perhaps only people who have lived extensively abroad, or grown up
between several cultures, countries and languages. |
