LEVEL, SCREEN, SWAYING

 

In the video sculptures LEVEL, SCREEN and SWAYING performers investigate the media-based imaged interior of a flat-screen monitor and its glazed boundary. Yvon Chabrowski shows the performers’ bodies in life-size. She thus creates a direct confrontation with the represented subject, which is less image than living body. We might almost think we can touch the bodies and walk around them. And yet there is always something in between, a sheet of glass, invisible at first, which separates. The screen is support and boundary, interface and projection surface. The video sculptures provide an alternative media-based model in the charged field of media image production and physical experience, which the viewer can relate to physically.
