The Narrator Is Present (2017)
performance, audio, live-stream online, duration variable
How can we distinguish fictional narrative from truth among the multitude of disembodied voices on the Internet?
As visitors enter the gallery, an unknown narrator describes their actions. Their narrative may be an accurate documentary of real-life events or the narrator may stray into fiction - sometimes playful, sometimes troublingly divisive in nature. Being watched, potentially around the world, whether audiences choose to protest, play along, or simply observe, is their choice.
Existing simultaneously in the gallery and online, the work exploresthe dualistic experiences of the virtual and the physical, and the ways in which these two spaces contribute to a single reality.
