Master of Reality

The installation impacts the recipient on three levels: the audial one, the visual one and the haptic one. Experiencing the texture of fur produces contradictory feelings. It is pleasant, but it occurs at the expense of another being that was once alive. This opens the way to a reflection on the status of animals in our culture and, more broadly, a reflection on the situation of all subordinated and exploited beings. Guided by the spectator’s hand, minor sounds are heard, creating a unique ephemeral composition. The piece examines the impact of sounds on our mental and physical well-being. The whole process is accompanied by reactions of an avatar on the screen, which observes and participates in the event at the same time. Master of reality is the opposite of someone who needs to use his imagination and make things up all the time. Being the master of reality, you cope with the reality and do not have to replace it with an imaginary one.
