Nape 2002; Dual sided interactive installation
Le Fresnoy, Studio National Des Arts Contemporains
In “Nape” the viewer is confronted with a cross section of the throat of a female giant. The viewer sees a twisted neck, a pale completion, and pink lips that speaks with white breath. Her breath explains that she is cold, and that the space is cold. As viewer passes behind the screen, the air on the nape of her neck are amplified, gently swaying the figure's hair and moves in relation to where the viewer is in the space. As more viewers gather the movement of the hair blows between the viewers creating a relationship between viewers in the space and to the body of the mythic figure.

Weep At the base of the weeping willow situated by the canal,
tables fill the coffee shop terrace of the cultural center, over looking
a growing line up of tourists waiting by the dock for their boat cruise
tour of Brugge. |
As
viewers first enter the gallery, they notice a blank white projection.
On a closer inspection of the projection, a knife appears and slowly
begins to dissect the screen from behind. The closer the viewer goes
to the screen, the deeper and higher the cut. As the viewer leaves
the gallery, the screen begins to stitch itself up, reconstructing
the hole made by the viewer. If the viewer sees this, and returns
to the screen, the seam begins to unravel. Presention and Articles: Passage De Retz, Paris France, September 2002 Catalogue Horizon Zero: Invent issue; Synthetic Sensualism InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Centre, June 1999
