ÒinterstateÓ, interactive video installation.

In this work, a video projection of a house in a landscape combined with the viewer's interaction in the virtual space of its interior acts as an entry-point to groups of text and images. In these texts, the idea of crossing borders is explored, which touches upon the very real global dilemma of the economic or political refugee. While the texts are taken from real life stories, the anecdotes begin to cross between documentary and fiction.
