Virtuality<\/strong> is a series of works composed of a video and un ensemble of lightboxes.
\nAssembling screenshots of social network Second Life and texts, the lightboxes explore certain aspects of this virtual world, alternative spaces for contemplation and post-romantic \u201cwandering\u201d, but also powerful tools of consumption and marketing.
\nThe video stages a situation deprived of dialogues between a male and female character. The first looks at himself a mirror while the eyes of the second reflect passed scenes. The slow crossing of a mirror attemps to express some of the multiple transformations that the virtual generates: multiplications of replicas and fluctuation of narcissism.<\/p>\n

An audiovisual performance has been created from this series of works.<\/p>\n

Series of light-boxes (selection): <\/strong><\/p>\n
