The rule is simple : an image hide another one. Rather than obstructing the view, the curtain image will enlight singularly the work set in the background. In Behind the Curtain, everything happen in the threaded links between the concealed object and the masking curtain.

La règle est simple : une image en cache une autre. Plutôt que d'obstruer la vue, l'image du rideau éclaire singulièrement l’œuvre placée au second plan. Dans Behind the Curtain tout se joue dans les liens tissés entre l'objet dissimulé et le rideau qui le masque.
