THE RABBIT HOLE by Boris Eldagsen & Tanvir Taolad | Teaser III

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

“Boris Eldagsen and Tanvir Taolad photographs take us to the other side of the mind, to the peripheries of the universe. We are not certain whether we are seeing the artist’s dreams or a mirror of our deeper state of consciousness. These images from the Rabbit Hole series are truly unique, unforgettable, and above all powerful.”
Roger Ballen

With this work Berlin-based artist Boris Eldagsen and Dhaka-based artist Tanvir Taolad travel to outer limits: inside & outside, here & beyond, conscious & unconscious, heaven & hell. Their collaboration brings together Western and Eastern approaches of defining the deep unknown: Us.
This work is not related to a specific social issue or political problem, but to the origin of all issues and problems.
This work is not about religions, yet it contains all religions.
It is about the human condition that we all share, will share and have been shared. It is about the timeless aspects of us and the underlying conditions of suffering and hope.
Working mainly from their archives, Eldagsen & Taolad use their experimental skills of fusing and condensing photographs to create images that dig deeper into the human condition. Images are 75% manually and 25% digitally altered. They are cut, destroyed, projected, glued and digitally reworked. As an image can have several loops of alteration, and Eldagsen & Taolad don’t reveal the details of their production tricks to one another, one can truly state: nobody knows, how it has been done.
Their collaborative work premiered with an installation at the Indian Photography Festival Hyderabad in September 2018 and was followed by [HOPE vs FEAR], a 360° site-specific installation at Kochi-Muziris Biennale in 2018/19.
