Shifting Gaze is born out of the impulse to get close to the human behind the persona. The piece challenges self-expression and explores new forms of desire, breathing life into the medium and navigating on a new notion of choice, linked to desire and memory, choice being the present, memory representing the past and desire, the drive for a future. What we want (desire) is connected to or conflicting with what is expected from us (identity, memory), and choice is the act upon which we build ourselves. Underneath these mirrored imageries lie many stories about limits, freedom and self-perception: stories of the mind. A shifting gaze may allow us to interpret our interactions with others, from grasping cues to understanding other people’s behavior toward us. Shifting Gaze is ultimately a piece about identity, making choices, a memory in act.
