Video Installation + Bench (Graduation Project) displayed during the exhibition “On our own Time”.

The video work, placed in front of a giant chair, dwells on how the creation of fiction influences our perception of our environment and how fiction is a performative act. The huge bench is referencing funfair rides, love spaceships, escapism vehicles and other fantastic vessels helping the viewer to disconnect from reality and enter other realms. It also recalls an old funfair moving ride and resembles a faery cave woman refuge.

The visuals recall the principle of a portal, a “trompe l’oeil”, a facade, and a Hollywood set. Each scene opens up with different mechanisms related to world-building; from the popular belief of the Circus tent, passing by the immersive technique of oral storytelling and RPG.
