Artist Xavier Lucchesi made attempts at expressing images without using a camera. In order to do so, Lucchesi used equipment other than cameras that can create totally different images. He used x-ray equipment and scanners to produce images. His images do not follow the most common way of image creation, but are formed by making rays pass through objects. X-ray beams directed at the surface of the area behind an object remove the shadow of the real object. This is the shadow, the ‘illusion’ that we can see. A ray passing through an object does not merely mean a movement from the end of one side to the other. The fact that a ray passes through an object means the presence of the object is clearly known, and this is like an observer staring straight into the eyes of a person and seeing through his soul. When Lucchesi makes use of masterpieces such as Picasso’s paintings for his work, he tries not to reveal the hidden side of the work but only expresses visually dramatic scenes. Moreover, he focuses on the fact that there is a point of convergence where the brain’s power meets the brain’s ability to simulate and draw what has not been revealed or seen yet.
