Alterum

Multi-channel spatial video installation, 2 channel 9:16 video (3:04 min), video projection on sculpture (5:13 min)

Alterum is a spatial video installation that, starting
from Bauman’s reflections on fluid identity, investigates the concept of “self” in a society divided between
real and virtual.

The contemporary tendency to virtualise one’s identity leads to a performative disembodiment through which individuals become organic-inorganic hybrids.

In this project, the physical bodies lose their value by changing into objects/statues on which this new fluid identity is projected, while the inanimate objects of the virtual world come alive, breaking the barrier between real and artificial.
