Description

“Is it just one Strange Horseman, or four different ones? Can you even see a horseman here?” The four pieces in this series are interpretations of the same black-and-white original composition. Same figure, same event, same background – four different perceptions, memories, and reports.

Sona Babajanyan’s ” Strange Horseman” confronts us with these questions, challenging our perception and inviting us to explore the fluidity of form and meaning. This quadriptych, a complex interplay of the same image seen through different lenses, mirrors the multifaceted nature of our own existence. Each variation, a distinct interpretation of the original composition, evokes unique emotions and narratives, urging the observer to consider the power of perspective. In this series, the ‘horseman’ becomes a vessel for introspection—a symbol that morphs and melds into the background of our collective consciousness, revealing the diversity of our inner landscapes.
