For this performance I projected onto a hollow plastic manikan. The hollow materiality of the manikan is important because the images I projected created a sense of entrapment and invasion. The project refelcts the feeling of being controlled by other people and external influences that are not innately personal to oneself. The hands grazing along the top half of the body creates a feeling of invasion on the outside, while the shadow that is trapped inside the bottom half of the body creates a feeling of intrapment. The face is a clay sculpture that a hand is molding, expressing the idea that the hand can alter the faces apperance. A hand pops a ballon that is projected onto the breast, creating the feeling of invasion/control. I started exploring the idea of external powers that contorl us because the dominating power of a projector intrigued me. The ability to proejct an image onto anything and change its apperance reminded me of the power of other people and systems to project ideas and actions onto us. With this piece I hoped to acknowledge the natural influecne that the world has on us as individuals in order to avoid its domination of our individuality. Throughout the show, these elements would dissapear- exposing just a basic white manikan, stripped of individuality. When they would reappear the viewers would get an overwhelming sense of invasion. I hoped that the relation of these two displays would inspire an introspective investigation of what systems/ influences are controlling each of us.
