EGO – Between the real and symbolic

Created by Klaus Obermaier with Stefano D'Alessio and Martina Menegon, EGO is an interactive installation that explores the concept of 'mirror stage' objectification and conflict between one's perceived visual and emotional experience.

The installation re-stages and reverses the process of alienation by enhancing and deforming the mirror image by the movements of the users. Although an abstraction, it quickly becomes the self and reestablishes the tension between the real and the symbolic, the Ego and the It, the subject and the object.
