I’m available. And You?
Multi Platform Installation
“I‘m available. And you ?” explores a multi-facetted series of socially responsive and aesthetic situations, propositions and metaphors enveloped in an installation, offering the possibility to meet and to converse, where a fusion between fiction and reality challenge the signs and signifiers that define inter-personal communications. ’I’m available. And you?’ questions one‘s perspective, interpretation and expectations which reflect our own availability and communicative conditioning.
