Let me in

Let me in 2013
2013, Dimensions Variable, Mixed media, Installation at the door of the studio


I often find myself not being able to mix with the people who are having a good time in a festive occasion. At times like this, I feel that I am there at the same time as the others but in a difference space.
Let Me In is a series that began in 2011, and its purpose is to convey such a feeling. A viewer stands in front of a door and hears people talking and having a great time. As soon as the viewer opens the door, the sound disappears and light comes on to show that the space is empty. When the door automatically closes again, the light is turned off again and the speaker plays the sound again.
