Diptych
“It is clear that this point is the ‘peripety’ or reversal of the action, and that the play falls into the form of a diptych, the first half tragic in direction and the second half comic.” -

This article is a review for a play called Diptych. The play was modeled after the traditional presentation of art; having two actors, a stage set with two wooden frames which the actors were placed, and having the actors conveying the same emotions but in their own individual ways. This play was as if it was a diptych piece of art brought to life. Diptychs are usually two separate images that are displayed together. Sometimes completely different images that relate to one another, and other times to separate images but when placed next to eachother make a larger image.
I have decided recently to try out using the diptych presentation with my work. I feel as though some of my images are strong enough on their own; but I think they're real strength relies on being displayed with one another. I want the viewer to be able to view multiple images at the same time and relate them with one another to have a more complete story.
