THE PANOPTICON OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MIND | ||||||

| The project is a multi-media installation that takes place within the confines of an abandoned walk-in cold storage facility. Exploiting the notions of both public and private space, the viewer is privy to the actions taking place behind the glass doors that look out onto the exhibition area. The model within the cold-storage facility undergoes a series of wardrobe/physical permutations, as well as experiencing psychological transfiguration. These both occur under the gaze of the public audience, which looks on from behind the glass doors. Situated on the exterior of the cold-storage facility, a vintage 1970's era still video camera captures the action occurring within the installation. This image is then transmitted to a video monitor placed within the private confines of the unisex lavatory. The cold-storage facility, the monitor, and the psychological mind of the model represent a 3-layer metaphor for the restricted "box" of each one of these elements. Furthermore, the cold-storage unit acts as the host to the organism of the body, which serves as the physical output peripheral, while the monitor translates what is in the mind. This installation is taking place during the reception for "instructions: charts and diagrams." The narrative of this installation is continued in "THE TRANSMOGRIFICATION OF THE DIVA" | Artists involved order list by : First NameLast Name
