Small, sometimes barely noticeable alterations to the doors of the house where Roman Ondák was living at the time the pictures were taken form the basis of this four-part photographic series. “Blind Door” shows a door whose handle has been removed without leaving a trace; “Descending Door” shows one that has been taken off its hinges and leant against the frame; “Retreating Door” shows another that has been dismantled and shifted into the room behind; and finally, “Submerged Door” shows a door, clearly originally from a taller frame, that has been cut down and hung in a smaller one. These apparently found and banal images turn out to have been deliberately manipulated, focusing attention on the theme of three-dimensional perception in the two-dimensional medium of photography and on the parallels between the picture framed by the camera the door framed by the doorframe. With these shifts and interventions, Ondák creates a viewing experience that calls representations of reality and its very representability into question.
