Footage of a woman is projected on a loop onto a white cardboard backdrop, with markers placed at its base and the word ‘conceal’ inscribed as an invitation to intervene. The audience is invited to alter the projected image using the supplied stationery, gradually transforming the surface through collective response.
As interventions accumulate, the original image and narrative become increasingly obscured and reconfigured. The work shifts authorship between artist and audience, allowing its aesthetic and ethical conditions to remain in continual negotiation.
