Demosutra, a series of photographs by Robert Rumas, is very reflective of the main problems which appear in the objects and installations created by the artist. The work focuses on issues of religiousness and sexuality, often presented with a social and political commentary. The interventions, referring directly to the present circumstances and characteristic of Rumas’s work, have in this case been replaced by broader deliberations. The artist uses here a language which is more universal, thus opening up the work to numerous interpretations, all of which are equally justified. Rumas resorts to a “body language”, an extra-verbal code which is specific to all cultures and communities, and which is just as hermetic as it is natural and universally clear.
