In front of the entrance to an overpass that bends at a sharp angle we see part of a man's upper body for just a few seconds as the wind flaps his collar and tie. Only when he moves farther away does one see that the man, who we thought was standing frontally, in reality is wearing his tie in the middle of his back. This entangled visual play is one of the tools with which the artist examines the experiences of everyday incidents and the borders of observational conventions. (Evelin Páll)
