The problem or question is, which reality?” – Mark Tansey With a captivating cerulean palette, Mark Tansey’s ‘Installing the Lens’ from 1993 is an enigmatic painting that explores the blurred boundaries between reality and representation. Obscured figures work to install a lens at the end of a cavernous tunnel. The focal point references Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave,” where Socrates asks Glaucon to imagine a cave populated by chained prisoners who believe that the shadows cast by objects and events outside are, in fact, reality. Trapped and unaware of their own limited perspective, the prisoners of the cave are, like the laborers here, not seeing reality but instead, a mere representation of it – a parable for the invisible truths that lurk beneath the apparent surface of things.
