PROJECT: BEHIND THE LOOK

Author: Zarko Basheski

Zarko Basheski’s project was presented through three realistic sculptures of Thomas, David and Ezekiel, in less than life size, made of fiberglass, silica, acrylic, natural hairs and textile.

Thomas’s sculpture reveals option between the Self and the Other, presenting his suspicion regarding Jesus’ deifying serves only to prove his status…

…same as many visitors shown their own suspicion regarding realistic view in this sculpture.

The sculpture of David like the most impressive one presents winning over the other person’s perspective, winning over the view of the Other. The possession of the other person’s perspective, presented here as possession of Goliath’s plucked out eye that David defiantly holds in his hand, means holding power.

The realistic sculpture of Ezekiel represents subjugation to what the eye can see, total surrender to and obsession by what is observed.

…entire audience that have chance to visit this exhibiton continue with suspicion observing Baseski’s hyper-realistic sculptures…
