Same Difference

Immerse yourself in a world of mirrors, projections and digital performances with this fascinating mixed-media performance installation led by David Mesiha. We are plunged into ever shifting cognitive and spatial perspectives as we step into an ethereal space framed by two-way mirrors, bright neon panels and immersive sound. Walk, sit or lie with reflections in this ever-changing studio of identity. As we look at ourselves through different lenses, we’re asked to deconstruct our perception of identity and to explore tensions between our sense of individuality and relationship to culture and place. Interviews with immigrants and refugees are interwoven with sound scapes, shifting architecture and projections, begging the question, “how much sameness and difference do we need to feel like we belong?” The experience is a meditation on a sense of fracturing that emerges when we exist in-between spaces.
