The title of this painting has given me a lot to think about.
An ambiguous image. I discovered this detail in a tableau-like photograph taken by my wife at the 2020 Venice Carnival. Amidst the dreamlike “scenery” of one of the world’s most glamorous events, boys dressed in skimpy Gucci and “pseudo-suits” watch virtual reality, oblivious to the mysterious masquerades floating around them. After all, which reality is “real”?
Or are they reading the news of a nearby Covid outbreak on a red phone in the middle of the fancy dress parade, which turned the carnival into a nightmare?
