The Home

The Home series is a body of work that explores the relationship between public and private spaces when the artist’s living room is recreated in a gallery. A distorting wall made of Fresnel lenses (recovered from discarded TV sets) divide the room and the furniture into sections, resulting in a fully transformational environment. Participants can move around and engage the space while experience disorientation that emphasizes the fragility of everyday patterns that exist in one’s home. The screens are set up in order to invade personal space and further the sense of disorientation, thus they intervene and change object’s form and viewer’s appearance. The participant is always between the transparent planes and is being mediated by their parts. This forces participant to view others viewing them through the work, while they are all together being distorted. What they see is an illusion of shape, size, and distance. A dynamic image is generated; a collage of merging body parts, furniture, and TV screens, creating a metaphor of the tension between nature and technology.
