Sometime After Midnight

"Sometime after Midnight" stands out as one of the most evocative in the entire series through its controversially erotic nature. Marko presents a scandalously attired female boldly embracing her urban setting. The background reveals steel bars and a coarse, grainy concrete wall, which capture the core of this hard concrete world. This scene is also developed by the splotches of red, appearing as a stain or a form of vandalism suggestive of street art. These urban elements harshly contrast the female's sensuality and supple youth. This creates an uneasy rawness and provocation that absorbs us into the scene. There is also a complex exchange of gazes between the viewer and the female. As she peers deeply toward the realm of the spectator, the viewer feels uncomfortable gazing at her. Through this exchange, Marko challenges the viewer's gaze with the female's territorial authority.
