| No one's land diptych audiovisual - projection The starting point: the observation of an optical phenomenon - when we look through two sets of grills at an object for an extended period of time and then change our position while continuing to focus on the object, the eye loses its capacity to focus as the superimposition of the two grills makes our vision hazy leaving us destabilised. At the zoo, the monkeys are protected by their cage, the humans by their own grill. The space in between is the materialisation of fear or of protection. It is also a neutral space for dialogue. It is like the area between two customs check posts, the "no man's land" that differentiates and preserves identities. A sensitive space, a space of doubt, it creates and sustains the face-off, the question of Me and the Other. |
