Peeping tom
2021
Video
26'59"






The video, projected on the wall, was created by superimposing a video camera on the screen of a mobile device which, in the meantime, reproduced the video documentaries.
The overlying device was the only point of view, the eye through which it was possible to watch the contents. The video camera moved within the screen according to the attractor-images that aroused the most interest.
As in the fruition of the sterile garden, the confused and distorted focus of the video given by the close interaction of the two devices, suggests an attractive erotic imagery, fascinating in its dilapidated and mysterious existence.
The relationship between man and nature and the perception of interaction between individuals are shaped by the automatic desire of the Single who crystallizes the invisible intimate, the Other, in surreal and hypnotic macro-images.
The background sound-atmosphere coming from Peeping Tom video is the result of a combination of electronic and onomatopoeic sounds that simulate the factors that contribute to the existence of life in a natural environment (buzzing, air, water).
