Different perspectives



Things look very different or might even have another meaning depending on what perspective one has – where you come from, under what circumstances you live and which culture you have grown up in. To understand someone with a different background and life than your own, for example, you have to change your perspective.  I try to illustrate this with a number of words that have a different meaning when red backwards by writing them on transparent Plexiglas to give the viewer the possibility to look at the piece from two sides and thereby see different words.
