In Beyond the Looking Glass Katayoun Dowlatshahi imagines the reflections in the windows as another reality; a reality in which the many reflections of cars, buses and passers-by are captured and simultaneously layered by the camera shutter. Using photography, Katayoun applies all the technical possibilities of the medium – the lens to catch the view of traffic flowing by, the layering of the reflections in the windows, double exposures – to build an image that is both realistic and illusory. This technology allows us to capture the smallest moments in time. The artist takes the pictures, builds up the scene and edits the result so that we can glimpse a new world.
