The work is a video installation which includes;
Video screening, the video is 8.35 min and runs in a loop.
Aquarium and a water tank underneath with a water pump connected between them.
Light sensor which is placed on the screening wall, connected to the water pump, the light
sensor causes the water from the water tank to raise and reduce the water inside the aquarium
according to the amount of light in the video.
The screening itself goes through the aquarium onto the wall in front and as the water rises it
enables the video on the aquariums glass to appear, as both images stand against each other.
The work took part in the exhibition "limit", july 2014
The sensation of a moment between being
a subjet and being an object. The moment
of looking at a thing, observing it,
checking it, judging it, seeing it,
understanding it, being impresed by it,
emotioned by it, the sensation of being
filled, flooded, untill the moment of a
flood of information, not being able to
grasp anymore, understand anymore, the
need to colse the eyes, to block the
lookout. Then, the moment of feeling
watched, the trasformation of this object to
a subject looking, checking one out and by
that transforming one himself to the object
of the gaze.
