semester topic „Me, My Selfie & Identity or How to Disappear?“

interactive installation, 2020

Narcissus drowned because he tried to grab his own reflection on the surface of a lake; he died not only from misunderstood self-love, but also because he thought the reflective surface was a human being. Every self-representation is just a mimicry game of something strange that lures us into his spell, solely by imitating us.

Music: Ṩtrannye Ẏagodi - Issledovaniya
