A Sight Better Than The Others, 2021

A Sight Better Than The Others encases the performer in a panopticon of mirrors, an active sharer, sender and receiver consumer and producer in one sleek body. Our eyes generate images, the public and the private space lack the necessary distance that keeps displays of intimacy from being confused for an exhibition room. Looking at someone, every angle, glance and pose we feast on, always means we’ve lost you on the path of being seen. The structure takes the form of an octagonal, black encasing with mirrored interiors viewable through narrow slits positioned at navel and eye levels on each side of its body.

A Sight Better Than The Others was performed as part of the group show Dreams Made Flesh curated by Luís Manuel Araújo at Catinca Tabacaru Gallery.
