In 2017, as part of Club Transmediale Berlin, we created a large-scale video installation exploring the theme of narcissism and social media, in collaboration with multimedia artist Lucas Gutierrez and multidisciplinary artist Darwin Stapel.
Projected in a continuous loop on a 20-meter-long, 2.8-meter-high white wall, the work examines both the everyday presence of narcissism and its pathological tendencies. Drawing from their personal experiences in the creative industry, the artists reflect on the evolving dynamics of self-perception, particularly as influenced by new technologies and social media.
The installation blurs boundaries between proximity and distance, the internal and external, the "Me" and the "You". Fragmented narratives, visual disruptions, absurd twists, and performative instructions mirror the distorted feedback loops of contemporary self-awareness and social interaction.
