Where I Pass By And Become

How do we communicate with each other visually in public space? The video work and installation ‘Where I Pass By And Become’ is part of extensive artistic research and addresses one of the themes related to this fundamental question. ‘Where I Pass By And Become’ focuses on the encounter that takes place on the border between private space and public space, an ever-changing encounter that continuously questions the relation between representation and reality. Every glance, left or right, initiates the formation of a new relation between passer-by, image and environment. 

A reflection on top of a reflection on top of a reflection, repeated until everything merges, moves, changes, disturbs, cracks and engages in conversation. The work, therefore, acts as an opportunity for the viewer to experience a moment of reflection for themselves, creating a space to be intrigued by everyday movements and surroundings. To explore, for a brief moment, a reality in which the glass window of a shop can serve as more than a display of products: where it can serve as a place of meeting. To critically observe the visual information presented to us in our immediate environment. How do we relate to the images we see in our public space? How do they influence us? Can we engage in conversation and find relationships between ourselves and the always-present visual monologue?
