Human
Self-Reflection is a video installation project, in which viewers are
faced with a digital mirror - their face made up of sample video footage,
forcing
them to reflect upon issues which they might usually ignore or deny
- like environmental
catastrophe, or third world exploitation, or even their own inner beauty.
Superceding
our first version, the film based Example No.5 - Clippers Made
In China,
the 20:20 installation offers the audience a Haphazard Mirror, in which
the viewers
reflected image forces one to confront global self-truths about what
it is to be human, regardless of whether it is a pretty / handsome thing
looking back.
Loosely
themed on conflict for the Static 2 event in Hereford, in Version
20:20, Fowler+Sumner present a visual history of 20th /21st century
warfare, literally through
the eyes of
the viewer.
