IYE 

TEARS OF DISTORTION

Performance Installation



Pim contracted meningitis at the age of four. Ever since, he has been extremely sensitive to light. This installation shows the various layers of Pim’s eye: the cornea, the vitreous body and the retina. When bright light hits his eye, it starts to shed tears. They refract the incoming light, distorting the view of reality – and hence the projection.

By physically connecting himself to the installation through an IV, Pim’s body becomes part of a confrontational performance about the physical vulnerability of humans.
