Each piece in the exhibition is meticulously crafted, with attention to detail that draws the viewer in, inviting a deeper exploration of the themes presented.

Studio C’s dimensions force the camera to orbit the subjects like a boxing referee. The “Alpha 4” suggests four different versions of that same long take, each with a different focal point: version 1 on the dominant figure’s hands, version 2 on the submissive’s eyes, version 3 on environmental objects (a chair, a shattered mirror), and version 4—the one labeled here—a “god’s view” from the ceiling-mounted skylight.
