| A bare left hand is holding a desert rose, as naturally as looking with the naked eye. What to say about that stone? Can we call it naked? Does that even exist - bare or naked stone? In English, they say ‘naked rock’ or ‘bare stone’. This desert rose is uncovered, uncarved even. Let’s call it naked. These photographs weren’t taken under a naked sky or somewhere in untouched nature, because the background most closely resembles a smooth inside or outside wall. It’s impossible to decipher precisely where these scenes were shot. But apparently that isn’t relevant for Replacements; the only thing that seems to matter is the relationship between the hand and the stone. Both are clearly something rather than nothing. And both are utterly naked [...] - Sybrandt van Keulen |
