Artwork Description

The Mime Players

72.5 x 54.5 cm

A few men playing basketball. All heads are turned towards the place of action. Only… there is no ball. Painting the players against a black background makes them like a group of mime players. By merely making the right movements and wearing the right clothes, 5 men can pretend to play a basketball match. So what are they: basketball players being portrayed as mime players, or mime players pretending to be playing basketball?
