Colour Scene from the beach, at the first look can be connected with famous Manet’s painting “Dejeuner sur l’herbe”, but what makes this version of the famous composition provocative is inversed gender relation. Projecting this video in the public space would pick voyeuristic attitude on unexpected consummating territories. This time gaze isn’t faced to female body, instead, it is inversed to the male body. Contextualizing of this kind of complete change could be queered.
