Tarazi Studio - Per Capita
Per
Capita exhibition
The video installation "Per-Capita" traces the signs placed on the head of each
person visiting the exhibition.
The visitors wear over their heads a piece of cloth marked by a red routing cross.
A tracking camera 'identifies' the sign, tracks it down and puts a routing cross
on it.
By screening the "tracking map" on the gallery wall, the background images constantly
shift producing a different context for each situation.
In one situation the exhibition visitors become targets of targeted killing, and
in the other situation they are individuals in a video game.
