Liz Taylor. Open Doors ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ (1958)
"Open Doors" is a meditation on the thresholds that define our existence, drawing from the cinematic archetypes embodied by Elizabeth Taylor.
This series examines the moments where personal identity converges with the collective imagination, using the act of crossing a threshold as a metaphor for the transformative journey from illusion to reality. The doors depicted are not merely physical, but symbolic gateways that echo the mythic structures of our modern narratives.
In invoking the iconic roles of Taylor, "Open Doors" taps into cinema's role as the modern mythology of our time, where the film becomes a reflection of the shared human condition. The series positions these cinematic moments as pivotal junctures in the mythos of the collective unconscious, where the individual experience of choice and transformation resonates with the universal. Through this lens, the works engage with the tension between the personal and the archetypal, inviting the viewer to consider how these narrative crossings shape our understanding of self within the broader context of society's evolving mythologies.
