FACE OFF
The projection work addresses ‘the gaze’ and self-image. The work uses a translucent mirror as projection screen. As spectator, we can see our reflection in a mirror at the same spot a projected image of a woman (the artist) becomes visible. This play of two reflections is interrupted by a blow when the image of the woman is slapped off the screen.
