look at me (2023)
LOOK AT ME is an immersive art INSTALLATION…
which premiered in October 2023 at Movers Bodega in Long Island City in partnership with the Queens Arts Fund. This interactive exhibition explores the human urge to be seen and understood.
It is an exposé on control and the ways humanity wages war to maintain a facade of perfection. LOOK AT ME invites interplay between audience members, sets, and performers through the mediums of dance choreography, poetry, textiles, film projection, sound design, and visual arts.
