This artwork by Sasho Violetov belongs to a series of paintings inspired by random film frames. The artist depicts several rows of figures leaning forward, observed from behind. The repeated use of the same pose renders the image almost ornamental. Sasho is known for his use of humour, and yet, who or what is he poking fun at this time? There are no clues provided: even though the artist often incorporates text into his works, this canvas is Untitled.

The artist also frequently responds to topics and challenges typical of contemporary urban life, but, in general, he steers clear of direct political or religious satire. Perhaps the question of whom or what the depicted figures are bending towards is secondary, while the primary question may be why both the artist and the viewer stop their gaze on this particular image.
