The triptych "Context" includes three parts
The triptych "Context"makes us think about the important connection between facts and circumstances surrounding an event. Without them, it is impossible to grasp its true nature. Taken out of context, events and facts are distorted by our emotions and attitudes. We are doomed to substitute concepts and hidden meanings.
At a first glance, we see bright positive pictures. Minimal expressive means and saturated colours seem to reflect peaceful and joyful scenes.
Without the context, it is difficult to determine the difference in the sentiment of the first two parts: we see children in motion, heading somewhere. Could they be rejoicing in the peaceful skies of the third part?
But should you just uncover the context as reality cuts through the consciousness:
#2 children fleeing from soldiers' machine gun fire and napalm fire, Vietnam.
#3 the sky of the third part is not peaceful at all - it's a dead silence surrounding the single building remained after the first ever nuclear explosion against civilians. Nagasaki.
