Backroom
Backroom is an immersive installation that examines observation, control, and the instability of perception. The work stages a spatial divide between viewer and performer, where visibility is partial, and knowledge is withheld.
Through minimal light, spatial separation, and delayed response, the installation creates a condition in which looking becomes an act that alters what is seen. The audience’s movement and attention activate the space, while the performer remains both present and unreachable, existing behind a mediated surface.
Rather than offering transparency or resolution, Backroom explores how perception is shaped by restriction, uncertainty, and the desire to see. The work asks how reality is constructed through observation, and how control shifts between observer and observed within enclosed systems.
