What WillHappen Next ?

Reading note

In What Will Happen Next?, Abraham Aronovitch radicalises the dispositif of the Behind the Obvious series. The bathroom mirror is no longer a surface of recognition, but a zone of chromatic saturation and formal disorder. Faced with the dissolution of the everyday setting, the observing figure encounters the emergence of an unprecedented presence: a “pseudo neo-human” silhouette, at once agonising and persistent, seemingly sustaining the gaze from the very heart of chaos.

The work suspends all narrative progression, freezing a state of permanent crisis. This painting questions the mutation of the subject in an era of uncertainty and dematerialisation, offering a powerful image of resilience: even within a fragmented and unrecognizable world, the persistence of the gaze endures. By refusing to answer the question posed by the title, the artist installs a silent inquiry between the two figures. The scene thus becomes a space of pure possibility, inviting us to inhabit indeterminacy, at the threshold between the end of one world and the emergence of another presence.
