12 Exits

00:02:59 2006-2007 - Window rear projection; 160x160 cm

12 Exits was part of a series using an actual window and projected figures. These works use the motif of the window to create and question the boundary between what we allow others to see of our inner thoughts and emotions and what’s kept to ourselves. Twelve figures exit the window each figure negotiates the open frame disappearing into the 'real' world where the viewer stands watching them. Interested in the interaction between the projected and three-dimensional spaces, 12 Exits explores the notion of the contained body as a metaphor for an inner space of the psyche.
