Picture Element, 2025
video installation
Picture Element deliberately slows the circulation of images. Lenses salvaged from used disposable cameras, placed in front of a video of mouths eating, transform the screen into an unstable, hypnotic optical surface. The image only reveals itself through the viewer’s movement and the time they are willing to grant it. Presented like a storefront advertising screen, the installation diverts a device intrinsic to the attention economy: the mouths, associated with bodies historically monitored, disciplined, and sexualized, are neither offered nor consumable. Filtered and slowed down, they elude regimes of visibility that demand clear, fast, and immediately available images.
