Daniela Comani's photo series OFF is an excursus on perception in relation to media. With meticulous precision she examines the familiar device for reproducing moving images in its off-state: switched off, televisions seem dead, becoming cold objects but also projection surfaces for viewers. Even with the image extinguished, the dark screen reflects the room, the people and the objects in it. Comani does not simply photograph inactive televisions, she flashes them: the flash on the dark screen is like a big bang, creating something new while overexposing and erasing the reflection of the protagonist. This brief flare enters idiosyncratic connections with the surface structure of the devices, producing new images and forms: a landscape with a sunset in miniature format. The series is also an excursus on product styling: minimalistically she stages a collection of televisions of different shapes and sizes — with the brand names meticulously removed to bring out the object's distinctive character. The devices are photographed frontally, as if they were persons looking out at the viewer. Each picture is unique, despite the serial character of photography.
