Description

Philip Marlowe is the detective portrayed by Humphrey Bogart in The Big Sleep. Through the detective, I represent everyone who searches and ultimately finds, regardless of the difficulty of the process. Colors once again represent the contrast between darkness and light. The architecture shows the contrast between dark, worn concrete police stations and surfaces that almost never allow us passage, in a journey of obstacles and contrasts meant to guide us toward the final encounter.

Look for the alleyway. A misdeed is almost always committed there, but a treasure may also be hidden. Look at the window—it opens onto the alley. Someone may have seen something and might be able to help us. And finally, look for Philip Marlowe, if you are able to see him. Not everyone will at first, so like him, search and find. Change your position. Move closer and look at a sharper angle. Seek the right light, because only when that light arrives does Philip Marlowe appear and solve the enigma.
