What's behind our screens? Is the natural world satisfactory or is it not enough for us? Do we finally accept natural reality or do we have to create new ones? Do we like the way we live or are we looking for something different through virtual realities? Is the digital world the redemption from what oppresses us or did it emerges by chance as a result of technology? Is there life behind the screens or are we behind them like an attraction?
These are the problematic issues raised by this drawings. They act as a connecting line between the world of the screen and our physical life. With gestural design as a dominant tool and elements of artificial digitality, the drawings highlight the contrast between the two worlds, shouldering the dual role of the surface that separates or unites two worlds. Does the gesture in writing persist in recalling material reality? After all, who is behind the screen, the viewer or the drawing?
