Venice Experimental Video & Performing Art Festival /

I was thrilled to receive an invitation to showcase video renditions of my installation, “There’s Someone in My Head…,” at the Venice Experimental Video and Performing Art Festival.

The festival is focused on the relationship between body and space, and the hybridization between identities and cultural/physical/social/urban settings in contemporary time. People, backgrounds, societies, progress, cities and all their inputs create hybrid identities, modifying each other and being mixed in prospect to shape a better world.

Phillips McLaren has crafted four effigies representing Jung’s four main archetypes, which, when combined, represent the whole ‘Self’.

Each video-sculpture characterises separate aspects of his identity, performing independently but at the same time, collectively creating a single self-portrait in a three-dimensional environment. These performances range in delivery and dialogue and are designed to engage the viewer on multiple levels.
