Curio

Curio is based on light and optics. As the viewer approaches, a reflected selfie appears like a phantom on the monitor, merged with a background slide image.

The work deals with hauntology and memory: a slide of an empty table with glasses and chairs, referring to a party where everyone has already left for elsewhere.
