Our face is our biggest identifier, it defines who we are, how we are perceived and treated by others. Iconic faces have ruled this society, becoming hegemonic characters that bring with them stereotypes and misconceptions. The interplay of western and eastern faces processed by a digital entity creates an attempt to blur the lines of what we perceive as perceivable and what cannot be perceived, allowing for a rerouting of our identity.

​

Facetime creates a performative water head that uses water as a collaborator, provoking uncontrollable results while slowly washing-out our thoughts that create our faces, continuously uncovering untold stories beneath the skin. Creating a dynamic, evolving piece that uses time as a medium – something we, as humans, cannot resist.

 

Facetime is part of a larger installation ‘DON’T MOVE THE FOUNTAIN’ a collaboration with students from the Contextual Design department, being water the connecting element between the different pieces.
