The View

1997 - 2005

Since 1995, Leandro Erlich has produced works that question our perception in different environments drawn from our daily reality. The View resembles the “remake” of Hitchcockian films and offers, to quote the artist, “a varied spectacle of domestic live comprising different scenes and a vast array of costumes and lifestyles of the Buenos Aires middle class”. Thirteen screens each depict a different scene taken from daily life (a couple having diner in a dining room, two young men playing an imaginary game of ping-pong in a games room). The spectator finds himself in a paradoxical situation: he is outside the filmed scenes and identifies with one of the micro plots in the storyline.
