Shattered…
Sonia Balassanian
Space-specific, interactive installation

What is the issue? Shattered dreams, life, destroyed emotions, past, present, even the future? It has been left to the viewer to decide which… Piles of broken mirrors, wires, haphazardly placed lights, etc. are stacked in the middle, reflecting broken images of the audience. Four upright 2 meter high mirrors reflect full-size images of the viewers in various, unrelated positions, all pondering the missing section of the title of the work. The audience is assumed to ponder on the answer in his/her mind and contemplations, closing the cycle of the interaction…
Giant-size video of an open eye is on the back-drop. Seemingly unending drops of water continuously drip on the eye. Monotonous and regular beats of the drips dominates the space of the exhibition.
This installation has been created on the occasion of
“International Contemporary Art Exhibition-Armenia 2018”.
