Facial Expression:
The Signal


Video

2022




“Facial Expression: The Signal” tells a story of self-discovery, in which a TV head represents me exploring a fantasy world. The environment reference of this piece is influenced by Surrealism, as its main concept is related to Freud’s theory that dreams show the unconscious part of one’s mind. It is an expansion of “Facial Expression” (2021).


“He walked the path to elimination of Self through meditation, by emptying his mind of all perceptions through thought. He learned to walk these and other paths, left his Self a thousand times, remained for hours and days on end in his non-self. But just as these paths led away from the Self, their final destination always led back to the Self.”

– Hermann Hesse Siddhartha
