Reversing

Multi-screen video installation, 5 synchronized HD videos, 5:30 min

In this work, filmed at the Leeum Museum in Seoul, Hannah inserts mirrors as devices to disrupt and reorient traditional notions of spectatorship within this regulated space. Overlapping videos feature various parts and members of the museum, including staff, volunteers, and visitors posing as models. Despite their efforts to maintain difficult poses, even the slightest movement is reflected and amplified by the mirrors they hold. Like a window into another world, the mirrors open up the field of vision by adding dimensions that exceed the usual scope of one’s perspective.

With the support of PFOAC Montréal, Equinox Gallery Vancouver
