This triptych is dedicated to the aesthetics of «backrooms"—liminal spaces that exist as if on the flip side of reality. Yellow hallways, humming lights, empty rooms—a place where there are no people, but there is a constant feeling of being watched.
This subject is truly fascinating to me. I really enjoy films and games based on this universe—there is something alluring and captivating about it all. I see a reflection of those dreamlike spaces here, where you are in a familiar place, but something feels wrong. This series conveys exactly that feeling—being in a dream, inside a strange and incomprehensible «backstage.»
I. «First Contact»
II. «In Search of an Exit»
III. «Observer»
I deliberately limited myself to three frames. This quantity works more powerfully than a long series—it prevents the viewer from becoming accustomed to the atmosphere and forces them to examine every detail, revealing the essence and leaving room for their own perceptions.
