  About the work

 

The Electric Eve sets up a border between the physical and the virtual body as the viewers create their own fantasies. We do not touch, own, or experience our fantasies and desires, relations in the traditional sense of the word. Meaning, like the body and its culture, is fleeting, transitory, and has no center or hierarchy. The projection allows the viewers to interact with the live imagery and brings a tension between the actual and the projected.”J.M.
