Man trapped in a room tells a story about this lonely man who is trapped in a room imagined by himself. He has built it up himself, everything he uses are illusionary objects from himself. This imaginary room raises questions about the current reality we have been living in the whole time, how we treat life and death, how we are so limited in our own consciousness. How can we understand the world we live in, with all its rules and values made by human beings?

The photoseries shown aside are small selection from Temo Dou’s work throughout the past three years, experimental shoots to reveal what is hidden beneath people’s subconsciousness and dreams.

De muren hebben oren

"De benen nemen" (to take to one's legs/to bolt)—why do we say it that way? Instead of just saying "I'm leaving"? At the same time, people are judged if they don't speak "correct" Dutch. We accept all sorts of crazy proverbs, yet a tiny grammatical error can sometimes be enough to dismiss someone.I am fascinated by how we communicate with one another. How we take it for granted. How words follow rules, how objects communicate with us, and how we, in turn, interpret them. And then there are those proverbs, which often describe things whose meaning is no longer literal at all. Do we truly understand each other, or is that not the case and are we just pretending? In my work, I look for the confusion within proverbs sometimes by depicting them literally, sometimes by changing something small about them.
