I am looking into moments of instability through the process of unlearning and transformation.
Hesitations in the relationship between ourselves and everything around or inside us.

In the video installation Inside, the viewer will be guided through a journey starting from within the empty shell of a human body. When the viewer exits through the head, the perspective changes, and you are forced to inspect a body from the outside. Only the parts that are in focus are visible, the rest of the image falls into a dark void, this way the viewer is forced to follow the gaze of the camera. Enclosed by organic sounds and music you can’t escape the intimacy. With the help of this forced, controlled gaze the duality of the expression is brought forward. I filmed myself with a 3D scanner to study the female body as an object and the sensation of feeling skinless when being watched naked - being exposed. But it is also about taking control. Since the camera directs the gaze, the viewers are ultimately left to the image presented; they are forced to hand over the control.
