Dark Room

Camera obscura takes the “indefinite” as an aesthetic principle and as a way to deconstruct the body boundary.

The two performers on stage play on two levels: the presence of the body and the impermanence of vision.

Theirs is a loving fusion, which only happens through light. An illusory touch that exists only for the beholder.

The viewer is encouraged to focus on the images, without ever really succeeding.

And when the eye is not enough, and the experience of vision throws the psyche into crisis, the response becomes emotional.

What I present is a short video taken from the performance.

It is a world that might exist in memory, in dreams, or, perhaps, in a parallel universe yet unvisited (…) the experience of visual confusion, when the psyche is momentarily derailed, is what frees us to respond emotionally. (Bill Armstrong, photographer)
