say no evil, hear no evil, see no evil

A site specific painting: a variation on the theme of 3 mystical monkeys - "see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil". The proverbial principle in itself could point into opposite directions: either being of good mind, speech, action or turning a blind eye. An ambigous pictorial maxim consisting of three figures which are either uncomfortably squeezed onto the surface of the plastic sheet or directly float into the environment due to surface's transparency. The mixture of painting and digital print transfer creates an additional layer of binary ambiguity, the figures are ancient (almost totemic), however the shadowing gradients point to a digital origin. Scale and display strategy comes into play as well, pointing to a fluctuating urban reality on the verge of collapse.
