“In the sense of scenery”

In this episode of DOUBLET, the works of Sara Rajaei and Alexandra Leykauf enter into conversation. Both artists work with the concept of landscape, both as a visual element and as a concept of a physical or imaginary space. These ideas are expressed in different ways in the works of the artists;

Sara mainly works with film and video installations, and makes landscapes in which time is an important element, as it were. For example, the fact that time forms memories or makes them wear out, or the concept of time in a purely cinematographic context.

Alexandra works with photography, film and objects, often presented together in installations. In these works, landscapes – and also time, memory and perspectives – overlap and intertwine. In one of her works, four life-size printed photographs are placed at an angle against each other with an opening in the middle, at eye level. As a viewer, you look through the hole at the back of one of the other photos, which gives reality and viewing directions a different meaning and the thought arises of how you can be part of what you are looking at.
