Clearance (2022)
Rayan Naftchi & Dewi Mac Donald
Artworks are almost always exhibited in an abundance of light.
Radiant, this light invites us to take our time and thoroughly absorb every detail of the artwork. We rarely question whether we’re allowed to perceive.
What if the artwork prefers not to be exposed in this light?What if the work itself determines who can see their light?Clearance challenges the entitlement of the visitor, demanding a consensual encounter. It questions the relationship between observing and the observer using light and darkness.<
