77 Questions

2015
The work was exhibited at the 56th October Salon, The Pleasure of Love.
The concept of the work 77 Questions is to introduce the viewer to the state of an existential observation of reality and the emotions that shape it, through the simple method of questions and answers.
Gradually creating a high emotional charge, the work reconsiders the position and ethics of artist in today’s society, but also the position of man in general in relation to the infrastructure thus created.
As the basis of the structure, the video uses found footage, public domain, audio generators, polygraph interrogation methods and similar artificial elements. The combination of these elements creates an atmosphere of deep isolation and discomfort, with the aim to ask questions about the hypocrisy, narcissism and a lack of emotion in the world (of art), defined by competitiveness and by capitalism.
