UNDERLAYERS. Video performance Installation. (Performance, installation, LCD screens, infrared sensors, two walls)

This installation presents a virtual character that occupies the space between and behind walls. The character observes the viewer and performs, challenging us to confront the desire to return the gaze and observe the character’s evolution. By this interaction, in which viewers are being watched, UnderLayers elicits reflections on the significance of issues revolving around surveillance and urban vigilance. This installation, composed of a series of LCD screens inserted within walls, gives voice to the memory of the physical environment and captures the deep incertitude and urgent feelings of the virtual character.
