Kys | Kiss
This video is silent and is played as a loop.
Two identical female figures slowly ensues in a kiss, showing the tension between the two. The inspiration of the piece came from my thoughts about narcissism and the relation to our-self. I am interested in the origin of the myth and tried to imagine how it could be portrayed. What if I was able to see myself as the other? Would I like what I see?
