The drawers
About
video, loop, colors, mute, 2013 I had the experience of being drawn by my students. I was very impressed by the particular way they looked at me: suddenly I stopped being perceived as a person with her own character, her psychology, etc. I became just a physical space in the space, just a physical phenomenon. The drawers’ gaze is a measuring gaze, beyond any moral or aesthetic judgment. I filmed them in such a way that the viewers of the video installation could have the same experience I had. Looking at the video from any point of view gives you the impression that these drawers are looking at you, just at you, and that they are drawing you. Each person has his/her own rhythm by moving his/her head looking alternatively at the drawing and at the object he/she is drawing. All together they create a sort of visual musical counterpoint.
