Interactive video projections 2000-2004In the most recent series of video installations I have worked with my son. As a series of affective encounters at the interface, they document and engage the visitor with certain significant moments in our evolving relationship.
The Double As the mother guarding nightly my son's sleep, I am constantly reminded of the shifting boundaries of that agency which is and is not my dreaming child. To whom does his sleep and his dreams belong to?
Another Eye "Another eye" documents the moment when my child becomes conscious of the camera between himself and his mother.
Mother, Child In "Mother, Child", the visitor holds the video image of the child. The mood of the child depends on the others nearby.

Screen Memories In Screen Memories the spectator looks at the stereoscopic scenes through the eyes of a little girl, inquiring into the origin of herself.
