It is a question of polarisation. It is a question under the school of dualism. A symbol of historical recording is also an appreciation of art form. Why is there a left and a right? When the Saints and characters were figured out in various forms of eternity, they carry an element of left and right...this is a perspective, or is this just a habit? The fabrication of a sculpture for instance, the head of the character possesses a long lasting gesture in the direction of left or right. It was perhaps a glance of an unfinished business, a capture of the repatriated past...a direction, and this is a drive to indicate the way to heaven or hell, simply the eterinity.
The gesture, be it ever been a realistic dimension or simply an extension of an imagination, provides to an audience a perspective of focus and elongated dotted lines...further from the stand of the now, think about it. It was perhaps the artist or the carpenter who adopted a way of presentation to others, be it a left or a right. Under the crosses of Saints, there may not be actually a real matter of left or right. The study of human brain defines a left and a right, the two different parts of sensible functionality of reciprocals. Using a left or a right to receive an external substance would weigh varied images and senses. There is no relevancy to yet an analytical research of the leftward and the rightward inclined faces and gestures inside the churches and museums, but it was simply also a habit to the way of preparation in receiving new communicative signal from the outer world.
There was an exhibition about melancholy last year in Paris - a same phenonmenon about the directional contemplation. Who would care now?
****************************************
The exhibition at Chateau d'eau in Toulouse at the moment was not an excellent but inspiring one. Named 'double je', it is an attempt of photographing the double identities and perspectives from people. Like the doppelgänger, the mirrored world is filled up with up and down, left or right - a simplified understanding about the being in terms of polar x and polar y. The photographer mentioned two basic activites on photos (or other art form like painting or sculpture): contemplation and consumption. True. This is a concept of diptych development under photo films.
