We are surrounded by images, entities, ideas, which become our own, once we name them or put meanings in these. Thus, grant them a lasting reality. Rashid Rana reconstructs a random landscape image from the Internet, employing, seemingly, a simple strategy, which represent underlying complexities in the production, pursuit and perception of truth in the abundance of visual knowledge we experience in the present era.
Using a software, Rana has recreated an image with its horizontally flipped fragments, thus achieving the illusion of the same image with its displaced parts. What appears to be truthful narrative tells a very different story when its constituent building blocks are examined/questioned, along with deciphering something more: the continuity/readability of the image not matching the sequence of numbering. A paradox, but a reflection of our comfortable reality.
