A Conversation on Observing and Becoming
Investigating with my camera lens through reflections and duplications, the video installation ‘A Conversation on Observing and Becoming’ explores relations between ourselves and visual representations of women in public spaces. The glass of the shop window reflects my face on theirs. We merge and duplicate into a combination of reality and constructed reality.
Exhibited as part of the ‘Frauen Bauen Stadt: The City Through a Female Lens’ exhibition at AFO (architekturforum oberösterreich) in Linz, Austria from 7th of February until 22nd of March 2024
