DESCRIPTION
The artist used a one-take long shot to film close-up segments of a model’s full body skin, and presented them through a micro-display equipped with a magnifying lens for viewers to observe voyeuristically. On the transparent yellow acrylic shell appears the inscription “The Truman Show.” In today’s online context, everyone is both a voyeur and the object of voyeurism, while simultaneously being willingly watched within the algorithmic machinery of those in power.
