In my work I try to respond to the fact that is happening (not only) in Espoo city urban space, and it is, that people who live in one community/society, overlook each other, do not care about one another, despite of the fact, that action and behavior of other people has the same impact on our lives as our own actions. And especially young people, who will became to be the future of our society.
The idea of my project was based on optical illusion, the artistic methode, which I started to analyze and use in few of my previous works. I try to involve around-going people, who unknowingly became a part of my work, participate on its formation, create unpredictable situations and their own context.
The project was realised on 20th of April in the coridor Entresse Shopping Centre during the opening hours of the centre. On the floor of corridor was painted two figures of young girls. In a view from one certain point they looked like they were standing and waitnig. This optical illusion was capturing by web camera and live streaming on internet, so people from social networks could watch it live and post comments.
The reaction of the people in Entresse was different. Some people stoped for a while and try to analyse, but most of them just passed through two lying girls without any interest. The most interested was the children.
