Reversed Image

2024, digitally printed photographs

Reversed Image emerges from the public actions of ANTI STORY, shifting the work from the street into the photographic image. Across demonstrations in several European cities, colour-inverted Palestinian flags are carried through public space and photographed; the resulting images are then inverted once again.

In this second reversal, the flag returns to its familiar red, green, black and white, while the surrounding world recedes into a spectral negative. Bodies, streets, architecture and police are rendered strange, leaving the flag as the only chromatically stable element within the image.

What begins as documentation becomes a visual proposition in its own right. The photograph does not simply record the action; it completes it. The flag is restored while the reality around it is displaced, producing an image in which political recognition and visual estrangement occupy the same frame
