“Iris“ is an interactive visual and sound work that reveals itself and changes with the gaze.
The work is always transformed differently depending on the viewer, the movement and the intensity of his gaze.
An interactive device: an oculometer camera, analyzes with precision the spectator's eye tracking.
The installation wakes up when a visitor stands in front of it to look at it.
The eye is the engine of the work here. As long as the gaze is maintained, kaleidoscopic forms are revealed and evolve according to the movement of the irises.
The work becomes revealing of the scope and power of the gaze. She experiences herself physically by being in front of her.
The spectator who controls the work with his gaze can then experience a feeling of ownership and omnipotence. Like Gorgon the medusa, he takes full possession of the object being looked at, he acquires the power to transform it, to explode it, to put it to sleep.
