Rae Klein: Second Face proposes that doubleness is not imposed on the world but constitutes it — the disguise, the arrangement, the skin worn over things becoming the subject itself. Fountains preside with sovereign impassivity while something restless persists beneath; two dogs suspended in cerulean aether raise the unanswered question of play or threat; a figure with raised revolvers arrives at a victory that remains unresolved — euphoric self-emergence or another face worn with such conviction it has passed beyond awareness. Klein does not say. What lingers is the suggestion that the second face has long since become the first.
