Don’t look now refers to the 1973 film directed by Nicolas Roeg, in which a couple deals with the sudden death of their young daughter. The urge to be alone in their pain, also alone from each other, is constantly disrupted. Josef Bolf’s work refers to this setting is a twofold way: Firstly, the medium of film naturally transforms the viewer to a voyeur in the same way as painting does. Secondly, the protagonists of the film are finding themselves in situations in which they see things they should not see. Their look is directed towards disturbing things that should stay secret.
