What happens when you tell a story backwards? Does the meaning change? Or does it merely change its order? There is something irresistible about mixed up sequencing, about non-linearity, and the creative energy that comes with it, about the retracing of steps to discover something new.
This issue of Arts Illustrated we look at what it means to ‘reverse’ an idea, a process, an ideology, an expression in art – what are the questions that come up, the journeys we are compelled to take, the realities that suddenly become visible, and perceptions that reveal their layers. We look at artists who walk this path with consciousness even if the revelations that come up are unexpected, sparking a dialogue that is deeply individual, urgent and relevant to the times we live in.
