Andrea Illés and Stacey Collee continue their investigation into the gaze and the image. Their video-based work alludes to acts of (self) imaging and gazing, through the form of the selfie. Subsequently, their work questions how contemporary imaging technologies shape our potential to experience ourselves and others, and how these potentials are internalized and externalized.
Technological imaging flattens dimensionality only for dimension to be reinterpreted by an audience. Through investigating processes of flattening and de-flattening, the artists call into question codes of gazing, the way we conceive of ourselves and others in collective spaces, and the precarity of selfness.
