This is You

(Collaborative project with the korean artsist Jayeon Kwon for the Nam June Paik´s Tribute Exhibition in the Korean Cultural Centre of Argentina )


Two people, over 10000 kilometres away from each other decide a day and an hour to carry out a joint action: they will look at each other’s eyes (in the distance) for five minutes.
To perform this action they both must look for a high place from where they can see the horizon.
Participant number 1 will agree with participant number 2 what direction he will look at. Participant 2 will look in the opposite direction in order to meet participant 1’s eyesight.
Aware of each other’s existence, knowing that they are both doing exactly the same at the same time, they will look at each other for five minutes.
During those five minutes they will place a camera which will film what their eyes are seeing, that is, their friend’s picture in the distance.
They will send the video to each other with the motto ………."This is you"
