The Arches 拱門
2017
The Arches is part of Tracey Moffatt’s Passage project, a series of twelve photographs inspired by film noir. In this work, Moffatt stages a mysterious scene with two figures: a man in a suit walks down the street alone and a woman seems to hide around the corner. The mist and artificial light underscore the drama of the scene and imply a sense of danger. With minimal information on the setting and characters, The Arches hints at a narrative but provides no definite meaning, seeking to prompt an emotional response in viewers. Moffatt has described Passage in terms of displacement and migration, and this contemporary resonance heightens the ambiguity of the scene.
