*Towards Inmost,* 2023
Installation View

Ana Pascu’s 5-channel video installation invites the viewer to embark on a metaphysical journey of self-discovery and spatial awareness.

Integrating screens within domestic artifacts, the installation aims to open a dialogue between the inner and outer worlds; mediating the meeting through technology and performance. In an attempt to evoke the complex, yet eerily fluid human experience, Pascu transgresses her performers across the multiple screens while simultaneously introducing a larger than life “self” figure looking “in” from outside the object-based installation.

The artist asks the viewer to reflect on the mechanisms that shape our perception of ourselves and our surroundings; to question the boundaries between the personal and the impersonal, the familiar and the foreign, the physical and the intangible.

Towards Inmost is part of the Diploma exhibitions of the Photography and Time-based Arts department of the National University of Arts Bucharest, class of 2023.

Ana Pascu, Review in New Genres
“The installation highlights two planes – one physical and one intangible, both explored through movement. Through the interaction of the characters moving along the screens and through the imposing presence of the oversized self observing from the outside, the installation presents the metaphysical journey within the human-environment relationship.” – Cosmina Marcela Oltean

În încercarea de a evoca experiența umană complexă, Pascu își invită performerii să transgreseze pe ecrane multiple introducând simultan o figură supradimensionată a „sinelui” privind „în interior” din afara instalației, se arată în prezentarea expoziției.
