Overload
Multi-screen audiovisual installation
- Year
- 2026
Overload confronts visitors with a flow of images that exceeds their ability to process them. Fifteen screens bring together fragments of history, politics, religion, beauty, music, sport and artificial intelligence. The sequence builds from calm to saturation before beginning again.
A translucent veil allows glimpses of the images without fully revealing them: a metaphor for what information overload prevents us from seeing. Sound comes from the active screens and matches the videos they display.
