image001.jpg - Rear Window installation view Ilya Rabinovich

On the upper floor of MB Agency’s building and in total dark, Ilya Rabinovich invites for a collective participation to a surprising and playful experience.

While entering the dark space of the exhibition, visitors will receive a small penlight and will be initiated to search for the hidden elements of the installation, a collection of Rear Window peep pictures realized by the artist during the year 2008.
The project is both witty and ironic as it plays with our unintentional tendency of spying our neighbours, something that feeds on our own deep-seated desires to watch others, without fear of being watched, in order to live through their experiences whilst sharing none of their physical or emotional existence/state. In this meticulously constructed setup, the watching process is shared and therefore it becomes a space of interaction and reflection.
Furthermore our urge to peep is indulged and we may temporarily escape and forget who we are as we become more and more involved in searching for the other images hidden in the exhibition space.
