BEHIND THE WALL // Performance with video

The panoramic image exposes the action hidden behind the wall; restless they move in patterns, in between the reality and a dream. The preformance creates a visual story, non-linear and fragmented, layers of images that show a conflicted and absurd situations in a single space, creating new construction of reality. The work explores the concept of depth in relation to flatness, static in relation to movement, change in relation to stagnation, and the memory in relation to history.
