"To conceal, dérober, to dis-guise, if you like, is also to disrobe. And yet this is but one aspect of the term, since “robe” and “disrobe” have the same origin (as English “rob” or German rauben suggest, the robe would, in the first instance, be a garment seized by a thief). We all know Bataille’s phrase “I think in the same way that a woman undresses,” and there are plenty of texts that deal with what is thus laid bare. A thinking that conceals itself, therefore, is also one that undresses itself, that disrobes, exposing itself, more specifically, as a naked woman: as truth." (Jean-Luc Nancy, A Finite Thinking (2003), pp. 39-40; 45)
Using this as a springboard, I decided to make a short film playing with these opposites of concealing/exposing. With footage that contains objects that convey the opposites, truth will emerge as a metaphor. All these objects are circular on screen, representing the “cycle” of truth. The juxtaposed objects express the relationship between concealing and revealing truth.
